It is an indispensable and invaluable tool. It will increase God’s servants’ prospective of His plan of reconciliation through His church and the ministry of missions. It is incredible to read about the commitment of many faithful African-American missionaries that have served under many life-threatening circumstances. Certainly the challenge is before us, especially in this era.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eSupt. Vincent E.

I saw firsthand the result of the war. Since that time my church and I have been increasingly engaged in world missions. Global missions has allowed us to open new doors for reconciliation between African-American Christians and White American Christians by developing strategic partnerships. I am pleased to endorse this book as a tool in the hands of our Mighty God regarding missions.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eAllen R.

It really should, on the one hand, help us celebrate those who in many ways are unknown heroes and heroines in the field of missions. Yet it should also challenge and inspire us, particularly within the African-American church family, to become far more engaged in connecting with our global family, and moving well beyond our comfort zone of daily existence. Brian Johnson, one of my mentors in the ministry of missions, is an incredible “doer of the word” when it comes to exhorting people to live and share their faith in a most compelling way to advance the Kingdom of God. If you have a desire to influence the world for Christ, \u003cem\u003eProfiles of African-American Missionaries\u003c\/em\u003e will let you examine how others were pacesetters in that regard. This book will hopefully propel you to step it up in your life’s work and leave a legacy of winning more souls for the Lord Jesus Christ and of fostering greater human understanding.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ccite\u003eRev.
