Today's All-Star Mission Churches: Strategies to Help your Church get into the Game
By Tom Telford

http://www.amazon.com/Todays-All-Star-Missions-Churches-Strategies/dp/0801063817

Near the close of the century, Tom Telford was criss-crossing the United States researching the best ways to do and support missions. He found that the top missions churches have active, healthy, innovative programmes. 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 programmes 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.
