Hamilton, Don
TMQ Research, 1987
99 pages

Because the world’s rural population is moving to the city and other demographic and political changes occur, traditional missionary methods are in a constant state of flux. Within this climate, Hamilton examines what makes effective missions work today. Responding to his survey (1985-1986), over 400 lay missionaries worldwide offer sobering advice: be a self-supporting tentmaker; be spiritually qualified; have a team for accountability; keep a proper perspective on job and ministry; and possess social and professional skills. Many of today’s missionaries are training with stethoscopes and computers alongside their Bibles. Hamilton presents pioneering research, helping to create a new paradigm. Includes discussion questions.
