Prioritizing Missions in the Church - 9Marks Church-Centered Missions (Paperback)

In Prioritizing Missions in the Church, pastors Aaron Menikoff from Atlanta, Georgia, and Harshit Singh from Lucknow, India, share their journeys leading their churches to be more mission-centered by taking the gospel across geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers.

What role should the local church play in the mission to spread the gospel to the ends of the earth? Many Christians view mission work as a task for large churches or parachurch ministries. But God commands all believers in churches of all sizes to protect and proclaim his word. Working together patiently and faithfully, we can reach nations with the gospel.

In this brief guide, pastors Aaron Menikoff from Atlanta, Georgia, and Harshit Singh from Lucknow, India, share their journeys leading mission-centered churches in two different settings. Through their personal stories, they teach Scripture-led methods for fostering missions-minded congregations. Emphasizing the importance of patient training and church planting—in terms of years, not months—Menikoff and Singh help pastors and staff overcome geographic, cultural, and linguistic barriers to passionately start and strengthen churches around the world.
