Missions 

by Andy Johnson 

As we attend church services throughout or lives, we often hear a call to missions. We hear missionaries from far away lands teaching of their ministry. We're offered the opportunities to go on any number of short-term mission trips. However, through all of this we often forget the basic truths behind missions.

In this book, Andy Johnson goes back to basics to remind us what missions is all about. Andy begins by laying the biblical foundation for missions. He goes into what the gospel is and what the primary focus of missions and the missionary should be.

In chapter three, he discusses the process of assessing and selecting would be missionaries. He points out the importance of the missionary’s character, fruitfulness, and Bible knowledge. He discusses training and the importance of generously supporting the missionaries we do send out.

In his final remarks, Andy makes some wise recommendations about how to conduct short-term missions in a way that honors God, uplifts the missionaries receiving support, and edifies those who travel.

If you have ever wondered about missions and how they work, this is the book for you.
