Description: Going Glocal (102-pg paperback) takes a fresh look at how local churches can accomplish global ministry regardless of their size, location and resources. It challenges traditional ideas about mission and ministry, and offers practical ideas for reaching the world from the local congregation.

Author Gene Wood says, “We live at the front end of international change and technology, which is going to change how churches do missions. My goal is simple. I want you and your church to GO GLOCAL!” Gene (senior pastor of Grace Church in Glendora, CA) says that by reading the book…

• You'll be more excited about ministry. Perhaps you've felt isolated. Perhaps you have felt the size of your congregation and property is confining. You have longed for more significant impact. This is your chance and you don't even need to move.
• You will begin to attract big-thinking people.
• You will discover financial resources you did not know existed.
• You will wake up every morning excited to check your email.
• You will find that your church dollars go much further and accomplish more than you imagined possible.
• You are going to meet some of the most fascinating people.
• Your general fund giving will increase.
• Your church attendance may grow.
• International workers (called missionaries) will cease to be viewed as a drain on the church budget and will be seen more like staff members.
