Outreach Matters: Seventeen Principles for Successful Missions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692789223)

In Outreach Matters it is my desire that you will be equipped to succeed; that you will not be overwhelmed as you step into outreach. Many other theological and missiological books and resources are available to you. Use them. Study them. They will be greatly valuable to you in all aspects of life. Still, these resources might leave you wondering, "How does it work out in real life?"

My goal in recalling these incredible experiences and life lessons is to help you build a strong foundation from which to begin your Kingdom endeavors. Too many people start out from ground level and never have the chance to stand on the shoulders of those who have advanced the Kingdom before them. I desire that my account of the great works of God, achieved through average disciples like me, will give you a chance to go further and accomplish even greater things in the Lord.

My hope is that this book has given you a glimpse into the nature of the battle we all will face as we seek first the kingdom of God. In the war for souls of men there are no easy battles. But nothing else even comes close to the experience of fighting alongside our heavenly Father and seeing the power of God in action.

Your life story is being written. What will your story be? The choices are yours. You may think that you will never write a book or have powerful experiences to share with those who come after you. Remember, God is writing down your story even now. Live your life in such a way that heaven is enthralled by your exploits and hell wishes you had never been born. If you draw close to the Lord with a heart to understand Him and really know Him, you will begin to value what He values and think about what matters to Him. His victories will become your victories and your victories will matter in eternity.

Your outreach matters. You matter.
