"Mission agencies have different strategies, and even within a mission or church there can be tension and division over strategy and details of how things should be done. Must we be so dogmatic on matters that the Bible is not clear about? Can't we accept that God works in different ways among different groups of people? The work of God is bigger than any fellowship or organization." Respected missionary and Christian leader George Verwer sums up his life experience with mission work—as a sender, a doer and a trainer—and talks straight about what is really needed in missions in the 21st century. To get the job done, mission workers and organizations need a grace-awakened approach. No longer should mission agencies compete with each other or dwell on minor theological differences. In Out of the Comfort Zone Verwer identifies the key elements for working together to win lost souls for Christ.

A man's life lessons,
By A Customer
This review is from: Out of the Comfort Zone (Paperback)
George Verwer, the founder and current international director of Operation Mobilization (OM), writes this book after 40 years of trying and motivating kingdom work. Having worked with so many people (over 100,000 people have been through OM since the late '50s) from all over the world (over 60 nationalities represented within OM) his insight and knowledge into world missions are pratically unmatched today. The cornerstone of this book is the need for a more 'grace awakened' and balanced approach to world missions. Mr. Verwer clearly spells out simplistic and encouraging solutions to many of the key issues facing the church today, such as: tensions between being and doing, leadership, using only nationals as missionaries, and many more.
