In this second volume of the new APTS Press Monograph Series, Dr. Russ Turney presents a compelling case study of why some missionaries leave the field far too soon. Normal attrition occurs because of health problems, retirement, or the obvious call of God to go elsewhere. However, Turney notes that far too often missionaries leave due to interpersonal conflicts with their colleagues or nationals, problems with authority and other issues that, Turney contends, could be significantly reduced. He then presents an excellent strategy for dealing with these and other issues, enabling missionaries to continue in their calling long term and finish well. This strategy will help equip not only missionaries and mission leaders from both the West and the Majority World, but also pastors and church members who love and support missionaries and who want to learn how to strengthen them better through prayer and action. Anyone who shares the warm hearted conviction that missionaries can and should leave a legacy will benefit from this book. From the Foreword. . . Dr. Russ Turney and his wife, Patsy, have been Assemblies of God World Missionaries (ASWM USA) since 1983. For the first fourteen years they served in the Philippines. During this time they also served for eight years as the Area Directors for Southeast Asia. Since 1998 Russ has served as the AGWM Regional Director for the Asia Pacific Region of the world. Russ and Patsy have two sons, Mark and Nathan, who along with their wives are AGWM missionaries, and a daughter Rebekah and son-in-law who are church planters in the U.S.A. The Turneys have ten grandchildren and are based in Springfield, Missouri.
