Roland Muller's updated guide offers practical insights for evangelical church-planters working across cultural boundaries. It begins by examining what it takes to be accepted as a credible messenger, exploring strategies for overcoming barriers of guilt, fear and shame.
The book then delves into the core gospel message, assessing how to communicate biblical truths clearly and respectfully in diverse contexts. It concludes with principles for nurturing a cohesive community of believers, emphasizing the dynamics of group formation and spiritual growth.
This edition brings together previously out-of-print resources with fully re-edited chapters and more than 300 study questions designed for personal reflection or group discussion. It serves as both a training manual and a reference tool for missionaries and church planters seeking effective cross-cultural ministry strategies.
