Praise for Joining Jesus on His Mission

“Greg Finke has modeled rare courage on his own life journey.  Now you can benefit. Don’t hesitate to learn from the practical experience and true grit of this missional pioneer!”
Will Mancini, Founder of Auxano; author of Church Unique

“Whenever people invite me onto a journey, I want to know if they are familiar with where we are going.  Greg Finke knows the lay of the land in terms of moving into missionary mode as a Jesus-follower.  When he talks about joining the mission of Jesus, he’s done it.  Because of that, his is a trusted trail guide’s voice.  Listen to him.  Better yet, join him!”
Reggie McNeal, best-selling author of The Present Future and Missional Renaissance

“Greg Finke gets it. If you’re going to lead people — lots of people — to follow Jesus, you need a method that is simple but powerful, true to God’s Word but translated into the vernacular.  That’s the power behind Greg’s ministry and the power behind this book.”
Bill Woolsey, Senior Pastor, CrossPoint Community Church; Founding Leader, FiveTwo Network

“I have the highest regard for Greg Finke and his book Joining Jesus on His Mission. In it he has provided clear, simple, and highly effective practices that guide us as we seek to learn to live missionally. I highly commend his work to you.”

Dr. Jock Ficken, Executive Leader, Pastoral Leadership Institute

“Wherever I travel in America I find Christians and their churches in desperate need of a reliable “road map” to help them navigate our post-churched terrain. Joining Jesus on His Mission hits the mark. A must read for mission minded Christians!”
Dr. Robert Newton, President, California-Nevada-Hawaii District, LCMS

“Greg hits it out of the park with Joining Jesus on His Mission. This book is not about understanding the theory of missions. It is a launching pad for you to actually join Jesus on His mission.”
Rev. Gary Faith, Executive for Parish Ministries, Southern District, LCMS

Joining Jesus on His Mission is excellent. Simple, powerful, practical, applicable.  This is a great tool for helping believers join Jesus on His mission. I had several Kairos moments as I read.  Greg’s insights alter the way we see mission.”
Al Doering, Senior Pastor, Houston; 3DM Frontier Leader

“With all the approaches for neighborhood ministry available today the simple barometer for me is this: would I actually use this in my neighborhood? After all, I have to live with these people! Greg Finke’s approach is one I can use in my neighborhood. He has developed a missional tool that works in the culture in which I live.”
Dr. John Denninger, President, Southeastern District, LCMS

“Greg has a wonderful way of taking the fear and apprehension out of missional living. He has simplified what seems complex and, with his engaging style, quickly invites readers to say, “I can do this!” With real life examples and solid Biblical theology this is an excellent contribution from a missional practitioner and leader and a powerful teaching tool for those involved in missional communities.”
Dr. Peter Meier, Executive Director, Center for United States Missions

“Adventure!  Most people love a good one. But, truth be told, they would rather watch it in the comfort of their own living room than actually experience it in real life.  Good news!  Greg Finke demonstrates how anyone, no matter how unadventuresome, can join Jesus on the most exciting mission field in the world.  And we don’t even have to leave our own neighborhood to do it!”
Dr. Terry Tieman, Executive Director, Transforming Churches Network

“What Greg has brought together in these pages is an intensely practical and deeply passionate exploration of what it means to join Jesus in his work of loving and saving the world. For those looking to saturate their day-to-day life with mission and meaning Joining Jesus is essential reading.”
Matt Popovits, Pastor/Planter, Our Saviour, New York City

Mark Junkans, Executive Director, LINC Houston

“I couldn’t put Greg Finke’s book down! His seminal discovery of “working with Jesus rather than working for Jesus,” removes so much of the agony, anxiety, and legalism in sharing the story of God’s love in Christ Jesus. Small groups have a treasure in Joining Jesus on His Mission.  Each short chapter is chock-full of nuggets that feed you but are rich with Greg’s easy-going, conversational personality.”
Mark Frith, Assistant to the President for Mission, Kansas District, LCMS

“This is the last book you need to read about missional communities. Not because Greg Finke has written everything there is to say about becoming a neighborhood missionary, but because he gives us enough information and motivation to get started.”
Rev. Jeffrey B. Stephens, D. Min., Director of Ministry Resources, Ohio District, LCMS

“Gleaning the best from the Missional Communities movement, Greg Finke helps readers to take practical steps in joining Jesus on His mission.  Highly recommended for individuals looking for practical ways to put their faith into action, small groups wanting to engage their community, or congregations recognizing that in today’s world, every member is a missionary.”
Rev. Jeff Thormodson, Director of MissionShift Institute, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis MO.

“Having recently served at a denominational seminary wherein the culture constantly puts a premium on “knowing,” and “studying,” it is refreshing to read something like, Joining Jesus on His Mission. Greg Finke actually helps the people of God move out into their post-church contexts and BE the church in compelling and winsome ways.”
Dr. William Utech, Assistant to the District President for Missions, Minnesota South District, LCMS

“Reading this book will not get you to live a Missional Lifestyle.  Experimenting with the practices and principles Greg articulates in this book will.  Get some friends together and use this helpful tool to guide your experimenting.”
Jeff Meyer, Lead Pastor of the Church, Madison, WI; Navigator, Auxano

“Greg’s book eliminates our common excuses and reminds us that “doing accelerates understanding.” Joining Jesus on His Mission will change your view of your neighborhood, coworkers and friends.”
Dr. Jacob Youmans, Director, DCE Program, Concordia University Texas

“Greg’s winsome manner in person translates effortlessly into this one-of-a-kind book.  Part field journal, part inspiration — Joining Jesus is a pleasure to read, and an even greater pleasure to practice.  Greg makes “missional” something each of us can do.”
Dust Kunkel, Mission Facilitator, Northwest District, LCMS

Paul Krentz, Mission and Ministry Facilitator, Texas District, LCMS

Mike Lange, New Missions Counselor, California-Nevada-Hawaii District, LCMS

Rev. Tim Klinkenberg, St. Johns, Orange, CA

Rev. Paul Mueller, PhD Missiology; Executive Director, Center for Applied Lutheran Leadership, Portland, Oregon
