I love this book--it's very inspirational! There are amazing stories of churches that have really been blessed because of focusing on The Great Commission, or, in other words, missions throughout the world. I really enjoyed reading this author's story from the time when he was first starting out as a pastor and starting a church. I find great inspiration in how he listened to God about how to run the church and succeeded in his call by having the people focus on getting the Gospel out. Jesus died so people could be saved...so we definitely should let the world know this! Anyway, read the book-- there is so much to gain. I highly recommend it.

I absolutely loved this book. Dr. Betzer lays a firm challenge to every pastor about church and missions.
This book will challenge you spiritually as you consider your place in grand scheme of the Kingdom of God. Our highest goal is to further the Kingdom globally in every way possible. Our view should always encompass every lost person in every nation on the planet. We cannot limit ourselves in our scope.
I leave this book challenged in my own walk and view of missions and I’m a missionary! If I pastored a church, I’d implement his strategy and mentality into the DNA of my church. I’ll be reading this again!

A challenge to do what we are supposed to do
Dan Betzer has moral authority to speak about the local church's opportunity and responsibility to be involved in global missions. Throughout the book, he shares several examples of ways in which he and the church he pastors have put hands and feet to their mission's commitment. His example and the actions of his church were a fresh challenge to me to do what I am called to do-Go into all the world and preach the gospel!
