Incredible resource
Our church staff read through this resource together. It is excellent!

Foundations
I had been reading the book online for a class, but wanted a hard copy for myself. It is excellently put together. The explanation of the missionary task has given me a better understanding of the work that goes into bringing Christ to other nations. I have used some of the information to modify our outreach to our community. Thank you.

Mission strategy
It is the best, and only, book you have put out on mission strategy. I wish I had had this book when I was on the field. Every missionary should have thus book.

review of Foundations
I would give this product a 10 out of 10. I use this resource often in training mission teams of local churches to do missions right the first time...especially when attempting to reach the UNPGs. I am using this process at the Missouri Baptist Convention to train our churches in reaching the nations that have come to dwell in the borders of the state of Missouri. I recommend it highly. IMB Response: Thank you, Rick, for your helpful feedback. We love to hear how our resources are being used to reach all peoples!

Excellent Resource for Missions Leaders
We used this at Missions College as we walked through the Missionary Task. I have now ordered one for each of our mission team volunteers to help them prepare to serve alongside personnel on the field.

Simple Approach
To some, entering into another culture with the gospel may seen daunting and difficult. While challenges always exist, this magazine describes the missionary effort to establish new churches as profoundly simple and clearly defined. This is a must-read for every person considering mission work, even on short-term church-led mission trips.

Very Informative
I enjoyed reading this. I learned much more in depth about who IMB is and received helpful insight to apply to my own local church.

A Must Read (and Must Use) for Every Partnering Fellowship
Foundations is an essential document for the IMB as it establishes a consistent and unified approach among personnel and across affinities. Likewise, it is an essential read for every partnering fellowship as it communicates the company’s definitions and methodology as well as working toward shared language and practice. Fellowships should equip their membership with this resource as they send short-term, mid-term, and long-term.

Foundations Magazine
I got a copy for my Pastor and 4 copies for my women's group. The Women's Group using the magazine to implement a Missions Oriented Lesson Plan. I'll let you know how that goes but we're pleased with the layout and the ease of understanding.
