Synopsis
Avoid "Get-Rich-Quick" Missions Strategies and Invest in Effective, Long-Term Ministry Trendy new missions strategies are a dime a dozen, promising missionaries monumental results in record time. These strategies report explosive movements of people turning to Christ, but their claims are often dubious and they do little to ensure the health of believers or churches that remain. How can churches and missionaries address the urgent need to reach unreached people without falling for quick fixes? In No Shortcut to Success, author and missionary Matt Rhodes implores Christians to stop chasing silver-bullet strategies and short-term missions, and instead embrace theologically robust and historically demonstrated methods of evangelism and discipleship--the same ones used by historic figures such as William Carey and Adoniram Judson. These great missionaries didn't rush evangelism; they spent time studying Scripture, mastering foreign languages, and building long-term relationships. Rhodes explains that modern missionaries' emphasis on minimal training and quick conversions can result in slipshod evangelism that harms the communities they intend to help. He also warns against underestimating the value of individual skill and effort--under the guise of "getting out of the Lord's way"--and empowers Christians with practical, biblical steps to proactively engage unreached groups. Biblical Ministry Advice: Examines the work of respected missionaries throughout history Encourages Professionalism in Missions: Rhodes teaches missionaries to invest in theological education, communication, and technical skills A Great Resource for Ministries: Includes specific advice for singles, parents, and other groups Insightful: Examines strengths and weaknesses of recent missionary movements, Missionaries today are often swayed by new evangelism strategies that promise rapid church planting with little effort and record growth. Does this lead to healthy ministries that last? What if these shortcuts are actually harming the people they're intended to save? Matt Rhodes calls on Christians to put aside get-rich-quick approaches to missions and invest in skills that are essential for effective evangelism and discipleship. such as mastering foreign languages, cultivating relationships, and preparing for difficulties on the field. Drawing from Scripture-based strategies used by missionaries of the past. Rhodes equips believers today for long-term ministry success.

    The listing stated front and rear brakes. I only received the front brakes. The seller has not responded to my messages about the missing rear brakes. Do not buy bicycle parts from this seller.

    This was extremely unfair for you to give me a negative review. If you will go back and read our conversation, you agreed to accept a partial refund. In spite of the fact that I responded to you within hours, you stated that I did not respond... untrue and unfair. Please do the right thing and fix this. Thanks.
