Synopsis

Since it was first published in 1953, the Mission Handbook (under various names and publishers) has been providing leaders in the mission community with invaluable and comprehensive information on the who, what, where, and how of North American mission agencies. This special 21st edition (2010) of the Handbook provides you with nearly 1,000 agencies working overseas. Each listing includes contact information, types of mission activity, areas of service, personnel statistics, and more. An in-depth analysis of North American missions gives you a synopsis of trends and comparisons in North American missions.

Only a book that is meeting a very significant need would ever reach twenty-one editions! This volume provides the contact and vision information for upwards of one thousand agencies, thousands of missionaries, and hundreds of thousands of volunteers and short-term missionaries.---Doug McConnell, dean of the School of Intercultural Studies at Fuller Seminary

This volume is far more than the listing of 1,000 mission agencies---it highlights the continued fervor and willingness of obedient followers of Jesus to represent, globally, our Lord and his transforming gospel.---Byron D. Klaus, president of Assemblies of God Theological Seminary

I do not know of any other source of information related to the mission effort of North American Christianity that comes close to the treasure of data found in the Handbook.---Elias Dantas, president of the Center for Studies in Global Christianity, inc.

I have kept a copy of the Handbook on my desk for over a decade. I have found it to be one of the most helpful resources for myself and my students.---Timothy C. Tennent, president and professor of world missions at Asbury Theological Seminary

Long ago, the Handbook became an indispensable and frequently consulted part of my reference library. Each successive edition seems to excel the previous one.---Jonathan J. Bonk, executive director of Overseas Ministries Study Center

The Handbook is an excellent, ready reference book which I've used countless times over the years. I'm not sure where I'd go for a great deal of this information.---Greg H. Parsons, general director of the U.S. Center for World Mission

This volume is not designed to sit on your shelf and collect dust. Get it, rejoice in what the Lord is doing through our brothers and sisters, and use it to assist you in kingdom advancement!---J. D. Payne, associate professor of church planting and evangelism at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

This trustworthy and rich reference tool has a well-earned place on the bookshelves of all who care about global outreach.---Evvy Hay Campbell, chair of Intercultural Studies at the Wheaton College Graduate School

I keep the Handbook in arm's reach of my desk since I refer to it frequently.---Marv Newell, executive director of CrossGlobal Link

Great Commission activity in North America is increasingly decentralized and very difficult to summarize. But nothing comes close to the snapshot provided by the Mission Handbook.---Steve Moore, president and CEO of The Mission Exchange

Our urban francophone theological network, URBANUS, has its roots in the Handbook. God uses tools like this to birth the most amazing initiatives.---Glenn Smith Chretienne in Montreal
