Your Journey to the Nations This hands-on workbook has been designed for two kinds of people: those who have a deep desire to serve God overseas and those who want to help them. It has not been designed to persuade people to become missionaries. Rather, it assumes an initial interest--an early indication or drive somewhere inside that God may have more for you than you previously thought. It is aimed at two primary readers: college/university students and young career persons, as well as committed older adults facing the challenge of an early retirement or career change. The information this workbook presents will also help churches, campus groups, schools, missionary training centers, and agencies to think and pray through short-term and long-term plans with those responding to God's call.
A must read for anyone remotely interested in serving in missions

This book has loads of practical advice to work through the process of becoming a missionary. Its not just a book, it is also a journal. Throughout the book you will find excellent journal worksheets with good questions to wrestle with. I also like the short articles on key issues from mission leaders sprinkled throughout. I highly recommend it. The outline of the book is as follows: Beginning Your Journey to the Nations: A Personal Fitness Assessment Introduction: What Does It Take to Be Prepared? Phase One: Getting Ready 1. Personal Spiritual Formation 2. Discovering Your Ministry Identity in the Body of Christ 3. Exposure to Other Cultures 4.

Great Resource

This is a fantastic starting point for people interested in mission work. It goes step by step through a process that helps people discern their journey in serving in mission. I highly recommend this resource and can't wait for the updated version to come out (I believe it'll be out soon)
