We transition in this preview of a more complete treatment in the book to come from the biblical basis to the implementation of the centrality of the local church in missions.  Step one, if you will, is simply agreeing with the Scriptures and having your local church take ownership of missions. There are lots of good reasons to do so! Starting down this pathway will be of great benefit to all the players on the team: the church, the church members, the missionaries, their missions agency, and the target ministry people on the field.
