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

    Spread Too Thin

    With so much to do, we can easily begin to wonder whether prayer is an appropriate use of scarce time. Wouldn’t it be better to give my attention to something that would let me cross something off my to-do list?

    Thriving Marriage

    I have often wondered about the best time to write a book about marriage. When a couple is young, there is so much about marriage they have not yet experienced. They can still impart wisdom and teach lessons, of course, but there is so much of marriage that remains unknown to them. Yet when a…
