With more than 7,200 people groups in the world who have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ, the staff at 1615 wondered, "How is the Church doing with its global missions engagement?" So they commissioned the Barna Group to survey American pastors to find out. The results are as exciting as they are challenging. In this episode, host Dave Jacob, interviewed Matthew and Denny from 1615 to hear the key findings from this ambitious research project. Here's what Dave asked: 1. What sparked the idea to produce this book? 2. What's the big idea? What issue are we trying to address? 3. Who is your target audience? 4. What did you learn from the Barna Study? Were there any surprises?

5. What do you hope pastors and senior leaders will gain from reading this book? 6. What change(s) do you hope to inspire/produce in the life of the reader and churches?
