Could God use ordinary me to change the world?

In the middle of diapers, dishes, papers, or presentations, deep down, we long to live a life of purpose, with a bit of adventure. But if we do something, we think we have to do everything - and do it in Africa. In Across the Street and Around the World, Jeannie Marie shows us we can change the world right where we already live, work, play, and study - by learning to grow genuine, spiritually deep friendships with people from other countries, cultures, and faiths.

In a refreshing “you-can-do-this-too” style, Marie leads us by the hand with clear steps, try-it sections, and beautifully crafted prayers. She gently guides us away from common cultural missteps, so we can offer Jesus in a winsome way, while honoring culture, faith, and family. With confidence, courage and compassion, we’ll start small, start soon, and start somewhere we already are, by first going across the street - which just may lead us around the world!

“Jeannie Marie shares a lifetime of invaluable experience with the rest of us. Her book is a treasure trove of insights and practical resources for engaging the nations in our own backyard and to the ends of the earth!” (David Garrison, author of Church-Planting Movements and Wind in the House of Islam)

Reflection questions and resources on how to get involved available in the audiobook companion PDF download. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

When you read this book, I expect three things to happen: you will be deeply challenged, you will develop a clearer sense of direction, and you will feel more equipped.
Part of what makes this work is the author’s authenticity. You come to understand that the lessons in this book are ones that she had learn. To that end, she lights a path for you.

Best missions book I’ve read

This book is so confronting of our western presumptions and tendencies, when it comes to the great commission. As a long term overseas worker, I wish I could have had this book earlier in my walk with Jesus! This book exhorts believers just like Jesus does, by both humbling and encouraging! It is written with humility and on strong, stated Biblical principles.
If you want to explore God’s heart for the nations and your place in it, this is a fantastic place to start!

God’s plan for the nations, and your place in it!
