With over forty years combined global church-planting experience, Craig Ott and Gene Wilson are well qualified to write a comprehensive, up-to-date guide for cross-cultural church planting. Combining substantive biblical principles and missiological understanding with practical insights, this book walks readers through the various models and development phases of church planting. Advocating methods that lead to church multiplication, the authors emphasize the role of the missionary church planter. They offer helpful reflection on current trends and provide best practices gathered from research and empirical findings around the globe. The book takes up a number of special issues not addressed in most church planting books, such as use of short-term teams, partnerships, and wise use of resources. Full of case studies and real examples from around the world, this practical text will benefit students, church planters, missionaries, and missional church readers.

This is a true story of an ambitious, young man who has been in the Sofia Central Penitentiary for almost 11 years--for a crime that he denies doing. He was sent to this hell hole for allegedly stealing money from his own company. The Interpol and Bulgarian law officials say he stashed the money in Canadian banks or hid it off shore. But they have not found a nickel. In the meantime, Michael Kapoustin remains in the SCP, buried deep in the bowels of this 100-year-old outdated prison.
