Too often when we think of missionaries, we think of individuals who raise support and work full time in missions or ministries. What if we change our thinking about that and realize that every Christian is called into fulltime ministry wherever they work. The church need Christian professionals in the business world, sports, art and medicine to name a few areas. The world needs Christians to live out their faith in their chosen professions and make an impact for Christ in their business places and overseas making differences in countries where the need is great to improve their economy and communities. Andrew Scott explains how to determine your spiritual gifts, heart or passion, abilities, personality and experiences in finding your purpose and calling. He uses the biblical examples of Abraham, Joseph and Daniel who were "scattered" and fulfilled God's purpose for them in making a difference in places foreign to them. He also shares some present day examples of people who have "scattered" and are making a difference where they are located. This concept is applicable to all who desire to serve God in their workplace whether it be here or overseas.
There are questions at the end of each chapter making it useful to use in a small group setting for discussion.
I received this book from Moody Publishers for this review.
