*************

Churches and Missions Agencies Together stands out among many books on missions partnership issues. Written within the Singaporean church-agency context, the issues dealt with and the solutions advanced apply globally. The timely insights cross national, ethnic and linguistic barriers; they are invaluable lessons for mission agencies and churches alike around the world. Indeed, if churches and missions agencies take the lessons to heart and apply the recommendations, we would see stronger partnerships become the norm, and more workers raised up for God’s harvest as churches and mission agencies build better synergy. This is a must-read for missions and church leaders, missionaries and church members alike. I highly recommend it.
