From the publisher

In the work of world missions, those who send missionaries are as important to the cause as those who are sent out. William Carey famously described missionaries as those who go down into an unexplored pit, and those who send and support them as the ones who 'must hold the ropes.' But if we are to hold the ropes, we must also know the ropes: both sending churches and cross-cultural church planters must possess a missiology that is both biblically sound and confessionally robust.
