Author Bob Finley - Christian Publisher Xulon Press

After being involved in missionary evangelism throughout the world for 60 years, the author maintains that traditional missionary methods are in dire need of reformation.He says that the way most missionary work is done today is counter productive and hurts the cause of Christ more than it helps.
This volume calls for a total and complete reformation of evangelical foreign missionary operations. Traditional practices should be phased out entirely and replaced with a totally new approach that is more biblical, more sensible, more effective, and more in keeping with basic principles of the Christian faith.

For three years, 1945–47, Bob Finley toured the U.S. and Canada as an evangelist with InterVarsity Fellowship and Youth for Christ. In 1948 he went to China as a representative of both organizations. When Communists forced missionaries to leave China, he went on to Korea, but there also, in 1950, the Communists caused missionaries to evacuate.
Still burning with zeal for missionary evangelism, Bob Finley went on to Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and India. In each country he observed that native missionaries were ten to one more effective in reaching their people than were missionaries from foreign countries. He also discovered that the most capable indigenous ministry leaders had been abroad as foreign students. So he returned to the USA, and in 1953 he started International Students, Inc. (ISI), to reach overseas students for Christ.With headquarters in Colorado Springs, ISI is now active in every educational center in the USA.
Also in 1953, Bob Finley founded Christian Aid to send financial help to indigenous evangelistic ministries all over the world.With headquarters in Charlottesville,Virginia, this mission sends financial assistance to over 700 native missions that deploy 90,000 missionaries, many in closed lands where American missionaries are not allowed to go.
