Description: This book examines the keys to missionary retention. How can we ensure that missionaries are enabled to serve for as long as God calls them to serve and to serve effectively? Fifty-eight case studies and twenty-nine issue-based chapters form the core of the book, including recruitment, call, leadership, finance, ministry, and education/training.

Worth Keeping is the product of years of work by the Mission Commission task force called ReMAP II, charged with the job of carrying out the attrition follow-up research of Too Valuable to Lose: Examining the Causes and Cures of Missionary Attrition. The book presents the outcome of that twenty nation study, led by a team of international researchers and global cadre of associates.

Worth Keeping is an absolute must read for agencies and church leaders, and member care providers. It asks your questions — for your use and follow through. Applying the information gleaned through the study may significantly change the way you recruit, train, and retain the missionary force of the future.
