`The Reentry Team' by Neal Pirolo
OSCAR Forum: Reviews : `The Reentry Team' by Neal Pirolo
`I enjoyed and at the same time found disturbing, the re-entry book as, not having worked overseas myself, I had not fully recognised the number and variety of the re-entry problems. The book was written in an easy to read format and is one I would recommend to all people who have contact with returning Mission Personnel.'
Cath Mawson, BMS World Mission Coordinator for North England.
The author of this book, Neal Pirolo, also wrote `Serving As Senders', a world renown guide to missionary care. Whilst conducting seminars on `Serving As Senders', Neal sensed that reentry support was the most neglected, yet greatly needed, and has produced this thoughful study on how to care for returning missionaries. Here are a few short reviews on the book:
"I read THE REENTRY TEAM with tears in my eyes. Tears because every word hit so close to home. But also, tears of joy because of the healing that will come to many missionaries already home. Tears of joy because of the pain many missionaries will not have to endure on their reentry. And tears of joy because many hearts will be touched to become more effectively involved in missionary care.
Tim Feaver, Wycliffe Bible Translators
"Don’t ever say lightening doesn’t strike twice in the same place. Neal Pirolo’s sure instinct for crucial but little understood problems in missionary care has struck again. First Serving As Senders, and now THE REENTRY TEAM, a marvelous and essential complement!"
Ralph D. Winter, Founder, U.S. Center for World Mission
"THE RENTRY TEAM is a "must read" for church leaders and laymen alike. Its practical wisdom and touchingly true-to-life stories will, without condemnation, assist the church in receiving back the ones they have sent out. The results? Healthy returnees will make enormous contributions to the body life at home, the church will be blessed and built up, and world missions will go forward."
Peter Jordan, YWAM Associates International
"Serving As Senders, by this same author, is one of the most important mission books of our day. Praise God now for a book that will help us minister to our missionaries when they return. THE REENTRY TEAM is a greatly needed, realistic study that requires prayerful reading. It is a tremendous expression of what is actually happening so often on the mission field. It should lead to a lot more and specific prayer for our missionaries around the globe."
George Verwer, Operation Mobilization
