Career-Defining Crises in Mission
Missionaries face a constant barrage of new ideas and methods to help them deal with cross-cultural decisions. Some fresh recruits arrive in their adopted country full of plans, and with the right methods, but without understanding how to choose from them.
Career-Defining Crises in Mission is written to help missionaries evaluate their ministry approaches and to pursue those that place relationships over programs. Each of the 12 chapters takes a well-known missiological principle and, instead of focusing on the theory behind it, uses Bible studies, illustrations, true stories, and practical suggestions to encourage missionaries to make decisions that cultivate relationships with people as they choose mission methods.
Also available in French.

Today's missionaries are faced with a veritable avalanche of information, proposals, and programs that cry out for their attention. Before they become cyber-spaced out, they and their leaders should make sure that they read this book!

Paul Keidel's insights have been tested in the crucible of more than two decades of cross-cultural ministry. He challenges us to be wise and discerning when it comes to importing methods and money from our sending country. More important are authentic relationships opening the door for the hard work of developing healthy, reproducing followers of Jesus. This is a 'must read' for every cross-cultural worker.
