Now available in paperback or ebook format on Amazon!
Overview of the Book:
In To the Ends of the Earth: Building a National Missionary Sending Structure, Dr. Arto Hämäläinen and Dr. Ulf Strohbehn provide a framework for building a national mission structure, based on many years of effective high-level leadership on the platform of a Spirit-filled collaborative community worldwide. The authors emphasize the need for Spirit-empowered key people, who are properly purposed to design an effective national mission structure built and operated with wise decision making from a biblical and practical perspective frame, with clarity and conviction. Their reflections represent an emerging Spirit-filled coalescing, collaborative, community described in Together in One Mission: Pentecostal Cooperation in World Evangelization, which poses great potential for a macro impulse in God’s agenda in and through building national mission structures for such a time as this.

“To the Ends of the Earth: Building a National Missionary Sending Structure.” is strategically important to new missionary sending nations and agencies in Asia and Africa. It provides valuable insight and wisdom from the many years of experience of the missionary statesman, Dr. Arto Hämäläinen. At a time when God is raising up new nations to take the Gospel to the ends of the Earth, it is vital to devlope the right structure to sustain and energize such missions’ endeavors. I recommend this book to every national leader to inspire and guide your nation’s journey to the ‘Ends of the Earth!’

Being involved in the Great Commission is not an option, but an obligation for every believer and every church. When a national church understands its responsibility to be part of the Great Commission, creating a functional sending structure is a fundamental element in achieving this goal…[This book] is like a recipe that presents all those ingredients that are essential to start and successfully maintain such a structure.”
– Rev. Gheorghe Ritisan
