About the Book

If God is calling you to serve him as a missionary, "Determined to Go: The Call of the Independent Missionary: A Practical Guide for Those Called to Missions" will help you to move forward with His plan. It provides information on what foreign mission work can entail by comparing two prevailing paths to the mission field -the "independent" path and the "traditional or denominational" mission. "Independent" missions represents a fast-growing and effective evangelistic arm of the church. Independent missions is a vastly uncounted, understated, and underestimated phenomenon impacting our world today. It is for individuals on a fast track to the mission field. It is for those being sent out by a home church to do missions. It is for retirees who want to finance their ministry themselves and are not content to stay at home. It is for bi-vocational Christians working overseas who feel a call to make an impact in their host nation. It is for those turned down by traditional or denominational mission boards, yet find that they cannot get away from the sense of urgency to proceed to the mission field.
Traditional and denominational mission groups are still carrying the bulk of the missionary enterprise. These fine groups have many important and positive attributes for service that need to be considered when making the long career decision a missionary must make. The author tries to give an unbiased account on the advantages and benefits of working with traditional missions; this with a view to helping the reader decide if God is asking him to follow this path. Space in the text is also given to present the disadvantages of independent missions and of traditional/denominational missions for the reader.

Inside you will explore many practical insights that will help you make an educated decision about how to move forward with your call to serving Christ overseas. If you have ever been rejected by a mission organization and yet still feel the call of God-this book is invaluable. With two-thirds of the world not understanding the benefits and claims of the risen Christ, there is much work pending for the Church today. That work is dependent on those called to reach out with the Good News to the many people groups and nations of our world. Will you go? The harvest is great, and the workers are few. Is he sending you? What is holding you back? Let's go!
