Prompted by the high attrition rate of missionaries who do not first “count the cost” of cross-cultural ministry, Neal Pirolo offers this book to help candidates look closely at scores of issues that should be clarified long before they say, “Good-bye.” In an easy-to-read style of dialogue, four young people represent thousands of people who are making that statement: I think God wants me to be a missionary!
“I really enjoyed writing this book,” Neal happily says, now that it is written. He continues, “It was a real challenge to become twenty-five people, each with their own personality. I related most easily with Jason. He’s a happy-go-lucky guy about to graduates from high school. But one day, deep in his spirit…
“Then there is Helen, a most proper young lady who has been home schooled since kindergarten. She attends a church that is very active in missions. Her concern is…
“Kevin, graduating from college, has his own set of challenges. Not the least being the embarrassment to him, his three college friends, as well as the whole church. You see, one Sunday he walked into church with these three men, Nigerians, with skin as black as midnight. He realized—too late— that he probably should have given the church advanced notice. But, over the next several months, a lot is going to change…
“Kyle probably had the most difficult issues. Wonderfully, there is a young lady in his church. Just when they realized their relationship was more than “just friends,” they cannot remember. But for some time now there has been an unspoken agreement that wedding bells are in their future. But one Sunday evening….”
Middletown is where we can discover truth and live in it. And that is what we want to do. We enter the lives of these four “missionary-hopefuls.” In the first four chapters each person in turn goes to his pastor with a specific issue. However, as they face the one, others arise. In Chapters Five through Seven, then, the youth and their pastors and others become involved in the dialogues as these young people deal with scores of issues that should be considered long before they say, “Good-bye.”
