Answering the call to mobilize men for world missions, this volume presents a bold, practical vision for lay leadership in global evangelism.
It collects addresses and proceedings from a historic 1908 convention that urged every Christian to support, organize, and join the mission effort with renewed energy and businesslike discipline. The text frames a shift from a feminine‑driven view of missions to a shared, church‑wide responsibility, emphasizing concrete plans, funding, and prayer.
In these pages you’ll find the scope of the effort, the reasoning behind pooling resources, and the urgency felt by church leaders who believed the world’s needs demanded decisive action. The book blends reflection with figures, showing how a disciplined approach to giving, organization, and leadership could multiply impact across foreign fields and domestic work alike.
- Context for a major laymen’s mission movement and its goals.
- Arguments on funding, staffing, and strategic distribution of workers.
- Examples of how to organize church life around missions and prayer.
- Ways men can engage—from personal giving to leadership roles in presbyteries and local churches.
Ideal for readers of mission history, church history, and planners looking for a historical model of lay leadership in evangelism.This edition speaks to readers interested in early 20th‑century faith initiatives, practical church administration, and the enduring question of how to mobilize a church for global outreach.
