The Western Church world is abuzz with talk of being on mission. Yet there is something still to be addressed in the process: the how. In this companion workbook to Tradecraft: For the Church on Mission, authors Rodney Calfee, Larry McCrary, Caleb Crider, and Wade Stephens provide a detailed daily guide for thinking and acting like a missionary. Spanning twelve weeks, Christians will learn to both reflect upon and practice missionary tradecraft like following the Spirit, mapping, executing culture, building relationships, persons of peace, engaging tribes, contextualization, alternative paths, and protecting indigeneity. Tradecraft Workbook was written in response to a growing request from churches and organizations for a way to use Tradecraft: For the Church on Mission in group settings. It has been tested in small groups as well as trainings for local, domestic, and global sending. True to form, this product of The Upstream Collective is thoughtful, practical, and accessible not only to cross-cultural missionaries, but to every Christian who desires to live on mission.

The Upstream Collective

The Western Church world is abuzz with talk of being missional. Church leaders, conference speakers, and authors are weighing the merits of the attractional church movement of the past few decades, and where they find it lacking, prescribing changes in the way we need to approach our cultures with the Gospel. There has been a consensus shift among many churches, networks, and denominations to become more focused on mission. The result is a renewed interest in reaching the lost in our cities and around the world. The Church, in many places in the Western world, is in fact returning to a biblical missional focus. Yet there is something still to be addressed in the process: the how. For centuries, God has called missionaries to cross cultures with the Gospel, and along the way, they have developed the necessary skill-sets for a cultural translation of the Good News. These skills need to be shared with the rest of the Church in order to help them as well be effective missionaries. Tradecraft for the Church on Mission does exactly that. This book, in essence, pulls back the curtain on tools once accessible only to full-time Christian workers moving overseas, and offers them to anyone anywhere who desires to live missionally.
