Vanguards of a Missionary Uprising

With high expectations, Vanguards of a Missionary Uprising calls on Christian African-American students to step forward and lead a new international missionary movement. Celebrating their leadership potential, a veteran urban missionary makes this positive challenge from Jesus Christ's Great Commission in the Bible. With specific examples from missions history, the author exposes the intense spiritual warfare waged against this cause. He explains past black-white controversies and how a racially united American missionary force may glorify Christ worldwide.
