Free download
These pages have been written by Christine, and originally formed a chapter in the first version of Ross' book, ‘The Antioch Factor’.

About Us
Having spent over 40 years on the mission field, Ross and Christine understand the need for support and teaching for both missionaries and their sending churches.
