Summary

Gene Roncone served in pastoral ministry for over 35 years in Assembly of God (AG) congregations and now leads the Rocky Mountain Ministry Network with nearly 165 churches, 550 ministers, and 44,000 constituents. Mark Renfroe served 30 years as a missionary in the Middle East, providing member care and administrative oversight of over 250 missionaries. He now serves as President of Compel International, a ministry that focuses on church planting among unreached peoples through indigenous partnerships. 

In this book, the authors effectively argue that obedience to the Great Commission requires lead pastors to provide missions exposure, opportunities, and partnerships to the churches God entrusts to their care. The book offers practical coaching to help pastors lead with intentionality, effectiveness, and balance in: 

• Leading well without being an expert in missions; Ways to create a balanced missions strategy; Common models of raising a missions budget and deploying resources; How to select missionary partners; Frequently asked questions and answers regarding world missions; Ten trends in global missions that affect your church; The role of missions trips; How to pray for and host missionaries; How to coach those exploring a call to missions; and Practical resources that can be downloaded and customized.  

Written primarily with the audience of Lead Pastors in mind, the book offers clear, wise and very practical guidance in the areas defined above.
