"In this book we aim to continue William Carey's work. Another book in the Encountering Mission series presents the biblical mandate for missions. In this book we focus on explaining Carey's view of "Means." Some believe that strategic planning is unnecessary; after all, the Holy Spirit will guide the missionaries to do what is necessary. Certainly, we believe that the Holy Spirit does guide Christians today; however, we fervently believe that the Holy Spirit can guide our planning as well as our work."
"In this book we show you how to develop strategies to reach the people groups of the world for Christ. To do this, we define strategy and explain the difference between strategy and methods. From there we sketch the development of missions strategy over two thousand years of church history. Finally we explain how you can prayerfully develop a strategy that will take you from no believers to a vibrant cluster of churches."
