Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Near the close of the century, Tom Telford was criss-crossing the country researching the best ways to do and support missions. He found that the top missions churches have active, healthy, innovative programs. With the help of missiologists and church missions pastors, he compiled Today's All-Star Missions Churches.

Telford's book uses case studies from churches representing a variety of denominations, sizes, and locations. From the detailed descriptions of the churches' missions history, vision, and programming, readers will glean practical ideas for starting or strengthening missions programs in local churches. Each chapter focuses on the unique qualities of a church that has succeeded, ranging from excellence in missionary care to involving children in missions.

The successful methods highlighted in this book can be implemented in churches of any size. Missions organization leaders, pastors, and laypeople who want to involve their churches in missions will appreciate this practical and informative book.



From the Back Cover

What are the best missions churches in America? Why are their missions programs so effective? How can your church learn from them? Find the answers in Today's All-Star Missions Churches. This unique resource highlights churches throughout the country that have developed excellent missions programs using the particular gifts and abilities of their members. Through their examples and Tom Telford's practical suggestions for implementation, your church will discover a variety of unique ideas for enhancing your missions program, improving the support of current missionaries, and working effectively with missions agencies. "Actual stories of real churches that have punched through to brilliant success in ways that others can follow. This trim, powerful book is absolutely essential for pastors and people, lay and ordained."

Dr. Ralph Winter, director, US Center of World Mission "Tom Telford's great passion is to see local churches of any size maximize their potential for global involvement. That's what this book is about."

Paul Borthwick, Development Associates International "Tom has hit another one out of the park."

Dave Mays, ACMC Great Lakes Regional Director "Missions is far from dead in the American church, and here's the proof. Telford both informs and energizes the reader with these snapshots of local congregations who are hoisting the missions flag higher than ever before."

Woody Phillips, president, United World Mission "From the pews of our church to Mongolia, there are people who have been mobilized for missions through Tom's energetic and spiritual leadership."

Daniel Chittick, Chelten Baptist Church Mission Committee, Dresher, Pennsylvania
