Free Stuff Fridays (Propempo International)

This week the blog is sponsored by Propempo International.

Missions on Point by David C. Meade, founder of Propempo International and Send Forward, seeks to spotlight the local church’s biblical role in world missions. Missions on Point awakens and challenges church leaders, missions leaders, missionaries, and everyone involved in the support and execution of missions to a local-church-centered mindset. The book begins by presenting the biblical argument (apologetic) for the local church’s leading role in missions. “The local church is both the means and the goal of the Great Commission.” The reader comes to an “Aha!” moment of fresh perspective.

Church pastors and missions leaders will be empowered to lead with stronger biblical confidence. Practical principles are offered to all stakeholders and proven with a thoughtful examination of biblical principles through insights from decades of missionary field experience, cross-cultural mission leadership, and local church pastoral experience. It is the prayer of all at Send Forward that this book will encourage and embolden the local church to equip and send out missionaries in a biblically effective way. The local church learns how to retake the initiative and ownership of missions. Related entities learn how to respect and serve the local church’s role. All are winners in this biblical paradigm.

“I recommend this book to every church, every Pastor, every member of a church’s missions team, and anyone considering missions. Missionary organization leaders should likewise read this book …” — Rev. Baruch Moaz

“It is essentially biblical, realistically practical, and it is refining our church’s practice of missions.” — Mike Devries, Pastor

“David Meade calls us back to a biblical vision of the local church at the center of missions – vetting, equipping, and sending her members to see God glorified among all nations.” — Jay Decker, Director of Church Relations, GSI

“This book is a goldmine of practical biblical step-by-step how to bring missions back to the oversight of the local church who have the goal of sending missionaries to unreached people groups for the purpose of seeing people saved and local churches set up and thriving for the glory of God. I love this book. It is very practical. I learned a lot. I highly recommend it.” — Martha Peace, MABC, Author of The Excellent Wife and ACBC Certified Biblical Counselor

“This book is a game-changer for anyone involved in or considering missions work …”  —- Rick Wilson, Director, EWM

    Throughout Scripture God commands prayer consistently and pervasively. There’s no denying that it’s essential to Christian living. But does prayer really change things? #Sponsored

  • What Does Trouble Do

    What Does Trouble Do?

    To live is to experience trouble. There is no path through this life that does not lead through at least some kind of difficulty, sorrow, or trial—and often through a cornucopia of them. This being the case, we rightly wonder: What does trouble do? Though we may not see an answer in the immediate circumstances…

    God Must Sometimes Overrule Us

    When we pray to God and bring our petitions before him, and then say in earnest “thy will be done,” how should we expect God to respond? Is asking God to overrule our will with his own admitting that he may actually bring us harm?
