Tradecraft: For the Church on Mission

By Caleb Crider, Larry McCrary, Rodney Calfee, Wade Stephens

As many Western churches shift from an attractional model to a more missional posture, a renewed focus on reaching the lost both locally and globally is taking root. While the why of missions is widely embraced, the how often remains unclear.


Tradecraft for the Church on Mission addresses this gap by equipping everyday believers with the cross-cultural tools historically reserved for full-time missionaries.


Drawing from time-tested practices developed by global workers, this resource demystifies the skills needed to effectively engage diverse cultures with the gospel. From understanding local context to building meaningful relationships and communicating the message of Christ in culturally relevant ways, Tradecraft offers practical insights for anyone seeking to live missionally—whether across the street or across the globe.


By making these tools accessible to the broader church, Tradecraft for the Church on Mission empowers believers to become more intentional, contextualized, and effective witnesses of the gospel in an increasingly complex and multicultural world.

“Amazing book on learning and living out missionary skills in everyday life. I recommend it to pastors and small group leaders who want their people to grow in living on mission. A must have book.” —NS
