Summary
Prioritizing the Church in Missions by Folmar, Logsdone, and Mbewe is part of the 9Marks series on missions. The book discusses the central role of the church in all facets of missions from training up missionaries in healthy churches in their home country to the essential role of the church on the mission field. The church on the mission field is not a competitor to the work of missionaries, instead it supports and encourages missionaries in their spiritual walk, while also providing discipleship and a supportive church home for new believers. The book reviews the scriptural support for the church as the center of missions and encourages engagement with scripture-supported missions methods. The authors also outline responsibilities of the home sending church in identifying missions candidates and ways to support missionaries when they are overseas via prayer and connection. Lastly, the book discusses the strengths of cooperation between churches and how God can work through these partnerships.
