Mark Zook – The late missionary to Papua New Guinea, New Tribes Mission Stated
Missionaries, led by the Lord to engage in cross-cultural missions, face many challenges and first-time opportunities.
Where do I begin?
What should I do?
What should I not do?
Five Stones Global focuses on the importance of missionaries working from the beginning of their ministry toward the end goal of leading churches to be self-reliant. To lean continually upon the crutch of foreign resources is not a viable option.
Five Stones Global’s expertise, via qualified personnel and trustworthy resources, will help missionaries avoid having an ahaa moment when they commonly say, ‘I wish I had known these principles before starting my ministry.’ Five Stones Global’s practical and doable principles for establishing self-reliant churches should be part of every cross-cultural worker’s toolkit.
