Roland Allen challenges us to rethink everything we believe about missionary work. Drawing on the example of the Apostle Paul, he exposes how modern missions often suffocate new churches with foreign control, endless subsidies, and rigid programs. Instead, Allen calls us back to the model of the early church, urging us to trust the Holy Spirit to guide local believers rather than imposing distant strategies. He champions empowering churches to govern, finance, and grow themselves from day one, and he emphasizes releasing disciples to multiply rather than creating static congregations.

You’ll discover why Paul’s methods sparked church planting that spread like wildfire and how adopting those principles today can unleash zealous, self-sustaining communities of believers all around the world.
