Many people will spend hundreds, if not thousands to go on a short-term mission, yet still go unprepared. Now there is no excuse! This book pays dividends and is one of the best mission orientated investments you can make.

The book in conjunction with the full use of Scripture will aid the reader to discern the voice of God, finding His will and direction and how to implement and prepare for the call on their life. The book covers the practical application of preparing for a short-term mission trip, to include: implementing a God-given vision, financial, emotional, physical and spiritual preparation and how best to prepare.

Once on the mission field (or your own home town) the book covers the various aspects and approaches which can be used in evangelism and shows the biblical methods of teaching other believers the truths of God’s word and how they can enter into the fullness of God by being set free from past bondages and afflictions; (in practical hands on ministry) being made whole in body, soul and spirit, whilst being built up in the most holy faith.

The ‘Mission Preparation Training’ book covers 29 topics in 35 lessons and is an ideal resource for individual or group study. The book covers four sections: Hearing and Implementing the Call of God, Preparation for Short-term Mission, Evangelism, Teaching and Discipleship and Ministering in the Power of the Holy Spirit.

    The Author:

    Mathew Backholer has been on more than thirty short-term mission trips in over twenty countries on four continents. The author has not researched theology books to collect information for this book, but with more than twenty years of diligent study of the Holy Bible and more than a decade of practical ministry, he has written from personal experience, whilst being guided by the Holy Spirit. Also he has gleaned from the experience of others with whom he has worked and who have helped train and mentor him, and there are many precious lessons that have been learned. This book is an essential for any disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ, but especially those who desires to understand their responsibility in fulfilling the Great Commission, making and teaching disciples as part of the whole counsel of God. Mathew is the author of much of the ByFaith website and also films and presents ByFaith TV.
