"Every movement is only one generation from dying out. Leadership development remains the critical issues for mission endeavors around the world. How are leaders developed from the local context for the local context? What is the role of the expatriate in this process? What models of hope are available for those seeking further direction in this area, particularly in mission to the Buddhist world of Asia? To answer these and several other questions, SEANET proudly presents the tenth volume in its series on practical missiology, Developing indigenous leaders: lessons in mission from Buddhist Asia." - Back Cover.
