Description: "This book is a call for change in the way foreign missionary work is carried on by evangelical Christians. After serving as a missionary evangelist throughout the world for 60 years, the author has concluded that traditional missionary methods are in dire need of reformation. He says most are counter productive, and hurt the cause of Christ more than they help." -- Back cover
