A Vision of the Possible: Pioneer Church Planting in Teams

PRAISE FOR A VISION OF THE POSSIBLE "...a message of hope, insight, and encouragement to all who long to see the completion of the Great Commission in this generation." Dr. David Garrison Missionary and author of A Wind in the House of Islam and Church Planting Movements; Executive Director, Global Gates "Church planters among the most resistant peoples, like Muslims, have relied largely on a vision that a church was possible. In his book, Dan demonstrates how this vision is not only possible but is a reality." Dr. Dudley Woodberry Dean Emeritus and Professor of Islamic Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary We have long been aware of the challenge of reaching the unreached peoples of the world. For many, this seemed a daunting and almost impossible task. However, with a clear biblical model of church planting, which works in divergent cultural settings, what seemed insurmountable we now see as possible. In A Vision of the Possible , Daniel Sinclair thoroughly covers practical whys and how to's concerning pioneer church planting among unreached people groups—specifically Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists—with applicable discussions from Scripture along the way. Its emphases include resistant environments and church planting in teams. It also includes the newly revised seven "Pioneer Church Planting Phases" which is widely used by mission agencies working among unreached peoples. Those on the field and those in preparation—including those in Bible schools and seminaries—will find this book immensely practical. Senders on the homefront will also find it invaluable as they seek to understand the biblical and concrete issues the friends they support grapple with on a daily basis. With over four decades of lived experience in the Muslim world, including 19 years in oversight and field direction with a major missions agency, Daniel Sinclair has the background to speak as an authority on laboring among the unreached. He has two master's degrees in missions and Bible, has served as an adjunct instructor, has published various tools and articles, and is the author of Mission: Possible—Defining and Empowering Your Ministry Among the Unreached . He and his wife reside in the Middle East.
