Stuff - Stuff you need to know about

Doing Missions in Your Church – A Handbook of Lists

 

David Mays

Revised and expanded, 2008, davidmays  

 

 

The earlier four volumes have been updated and an additional fifth volume has been added. 

 

Stuff you need to know about Doing Missions in Your Church is an encyclopedia of all the things you wanted to know about doing missions but didn't know where to find. It is a compilation of one-page concepts, lists, outlines, forms, samples, and resources covering everything from "A Personal Missions Prayer Pattern" to "Yellow Flags in Missionary Selection."  Material ranges from the known (The Lausanne Covenant) to the exotic (Watch your missions language!). 

 

David Mays served as a church consultant for ACMC for more than 20 years and this CD contains all the best stuff he has learned and obtained from churches.

 

Church leaders, mobilizers, and mission organization personnel find these “bottom line” summaries extremely handy and helpful.  Several have called it the best resource available to churches for their missions ministry.  More than 6000 copies of earlier volumes have been distributed. A complete index to all five volumes is included.

 

“Stuff” is available only on CD in Word.
