MissionSmart
Practical Advice for Global Missions -- David & Vicki Frazier use their 35+ years of experience in global missions, 20 of which were living abroad, to discuss a variety of topics related to global missions, with the goal of offering wise and practical counsel. They lead a ministry called Equipping Servants International (www.esionline.org), which exists to equip and mobilize the whole body of Christ to better fulfill God’s mission to reach all peoples, both at home and abroad. Their book MissionSmart:15 Critical Questions To Ask Before Launching Overseas is available on Amazon in paperback or Kindle. This MissionSmart podcast is another tool they use to equip people.
