In a mission-minded family, there seems to be a God-infused energy. A passion for the lost. And a spiritual depth and hunger that reaches into the heart of the culture. A family that is called for missions need to have an attitude of self-sacrifice, and a total submission to God’s will.

In THE MISSION-MINDED FAMILY Ms. Dunagan shows us what the concept really means. She includes activities for the family to participate in as well as resources to help those who are not mission-focused to become so. She also discusses the need for balancing and prioritizing your everyday life as well as going into what a mission-minded family’s finances might look like if they were focused on missions.

This book contains the following features:

1. Hymns and Poems
2. From a child’s perspective
3. Mini Missionary Biographies
4. Mission stories
5. Teaching opportunities

There are also startling facts scattered through the book, such as:

--more money is spent each year on chewing gum than on missions
--every fifty-two days more money is spent on pet food than is spent annually on missions

World Maps, resources, and other notes are included at the end of the book. If you are in a small church trying to reach the community, or a mission church, or even just want to expand your churches missionary base at home or abroad, then THE MISSION-MINDED FAMILY is a great way to start. It is chock-full of advice and stories that will inspire you. 230 pages.
