Gene Daniels (D Lit et Phil, University of South Africa) has been a missionary and researcher in the Muslim world for over twenty-five years. He and his family started their journey in Central Asia as church planters among unreached Muslim people groups. Daniels has authored several books and dozens of articles. Above all, he longs to someday hear the words, “Well done my good and faithful servant.”
Now revised to include perspectives on the realities of the changing missionary force and the challenges of bonding with a new culture in an increasingly globalized and technologically connected world, this edition of On Being a Missionary addresses current issues while maintaining the wit and warmth of the man who first challenged us with his perspectives on being a missionary.
