An Apostolic Vision for Reaching the Nations
This book is a compelling biography of Donald A. McGavran, the founder of the Church Growth Movement. Drawing from primary sources and personal interviews, Middleton presents a deeply researched account of McGavran's formative years, missionary service in India, and the development of his missiological insights. Born to missionary parents in India, McGavran's early experiences shaped his lifelong passion for evangelism and contextualized ministry. His innovative ideas challenged traditional mission models, emphasizing measurable church growth, the importance of reaching unreached peoples, and the strategic stewardship of missionary efforts.
The book captures not only McGavran's theological convictions but also his practical strategies, educational contributions, and unwavering commitment to the Great Commission. It serves as an essential resource for missionaries, church leaders, and students of missiology seeking to understand the roots and impact of one of the twentieth century's most influential evangelical thinkers.
Author Biography
Vern Middleton has been a lifelong church planter and missions professor. He served in India from 1965 to 1976. During his time in India he was mentored by Donald McGavran and they formed a close friendship in ministry and church planting experiences. It was out of this context that interest grew to write McGavran's biography. During the last decade of McGavran's life Middleton had opportunity to interact with him on virtually every page of the biography.
