Doing Missions in Difficult Contexts

“In these troubled times, Dr. Lee provides a road map for thoughtful missions under a wide range of difficult circumstances. From personal and professional experience in missions, sound missiological theology, and sociological insight, Dr. Lee’s book is a much-needed manual for missionaries around the world.”


—Joshua D. Reichard, President and CEO, Omega Graduate School





“Dr. Paul Lee tackles the vital subject of suffering in global missions with a rich combination of biblical, missiological, and geopolitical perspectives and reflections. The many personal stories bring home the reality of persecution. Yet, it has often been forgotten that temptation is another face of persecution affecting the global church. This is a book that speaks not only to the mind but also the heart.”


—Anonymous, Director, a global evangelical missions agency serving in security-sensitive areas





“Persecution and suffering have always been linked to gospel proclamation since the days of Stephen. . . . This book presents honest personal accounts, updated information, and thoughtful reflections on how to overcome the challenges that the church faces today to fulfill the Great Commission. It is written by a passionate pastor to voice the pain of those suffering in the mission field. It inspires us to go on mission with faithfulness and integrity.”
