WHAT IS AN APOSTOLIC LEADER?

What is their job description? What do these crucial front-line pioneers of the Great Commission need to stay spiritually renewed, personally refreshed, and steadfastly motivated to persevere in their task?

In Unwavering Resolve, pioneering leader and pastor Dave Robinson offers a guidebook for mission leaders, church planters, pastors, sending agencies, and their teams, inspiring and resourcing them to keep their hands to the plow as they pursue the mission Jesus entrusted to his church. Drawing on the heart of Jesus and the life of Paul, Unwavering Resolve equips us to face our current challenges and prepare a new generation of leaders for the future of the church.

Dave draws deeply from the Scriptures and his own missional journey to lay down the breadcrumbs for you to follow with God and with your team as you fulfill your mission.”
