Every Muslim people needed "first responders"...the vast majority of them never got in a book...Greatest Toil is THEIR story in Turkey, Iran, and the Arab World.This book is a love letter from an 80-year-old veteran of the Cross to his family in Christ Jesus, especially to Christ's ambassadors to the Muslim world. Muslims today are 24% of the men, women and children on the planet and are locked into Satan's masterpiece, "without hope and without God" (Eph. 2:12). These reflections, looking back on the faithfulness of the pioneering ground-breakers, is all about asking that question: OF WHAT IN THE PAST SHOULD WE BE AWARE? We pose this question so that the making of disciples of the Lord Jesus among followers of the false prophet can be done more fruitfully, i.e. "fruit that lasts" (John 15:16). These bits of mission history were envisioned to highlight efforts of the Lord's servants, up until 1978, across all the regions and nations of Turkey, Persia, Mesopotamia, and the Arab World. This present volume serves as only a small representative of the many more faithful servants of Christ, brothers and sisters who very likely heard "well done, good and faithful servant" on the day of their Homecoming.May these vignettes be utilized to cause fruitful reflection on the efforts of those who preceded us. It is hoped and prayed that you will be inspired by those who went before us, and that through the reflection questions you will be able to evaluate present ministries, avoid mistakes of the past, and be encouraged to experiment with what has not yet been attempted.

Millions of people in major religious traditions such as Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism are coming to Christ in unprecedented numbers. At the same time, those laboring on the frontlines-and their partners back home-face a daunting array of complexities and challenges. Mission: Possible combines more than 40 years of lived practice and research among many unreached people groups. Daniel Sinclair, who lives in the Middle East, pulls together major threads which inform and guide practice in pioneering movements ministry, beginning with a foundational understanding of apostleship. Set forth in Mission: Possible are demonstrated practices with tangible results including understanding church planting movements, what to do about baptism, and even how wise stewarding of your own time as a practitioner impacts everything you do. Rather than simply talking about these subjects, Sinclair shows how to do these things. With a strong biblical basis, and years of experience in oversight, coaching and direct ministry, Sinclair's book is a must-read for anyone serious about reaching the unreached."I love this book and can't imagine it being written by anyone else."- David Garrison, missionary author of A Wind in the House of Islam and Church Planting Movements, executive director, Global Gates "I like spicy missiology and Dan is spicy." - Dick Brogden, co-founder of the Live Dead Movement, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia "We are going to have everyone on our team and others we influence go through this book." - Leaders of a large church-planting team in Saudi Arabia "...a mixture of biblical examination, grappling with key issues, and real- life considerations...a compelling book." - Stan Parks, PhD, movement catalyst and coach, 24:14 Coalition "Imagine sitting down with a veteran missionary and allowing him to share what he has learned through years of service." - Roland Muller, author of Honor & Shame and The Messenger, the Message, and the Community "My prayer for the missionaries who read this superb book is, 'O God, let them be fruitful, so that thousands and millions of non-Christians will glorify You for Your mercy.' For praying Christians who want to learn from one of the most Biblical teachers I have known, you will be rewarded by reading this book." - Robert A. Blincoe, PhD, president emeritus, Frontiers "v...crammed with insight and inspiration..." - Dr. Don Dent, emeritus missionary, professor of World Missions, Gateway SeminaryAn eye-witness account of astounding breakthroughs of harvesting in the Muslim world. It is also an unvarnished story of the agony of the nitty-griity, day-to-day of facing and solving the formidable challenges that Muslim work entails. The book is filled with golden nuggets of wisdom that have come out the testing fires of Islam.- Don McCurry, servant of Christ

Greg Livingstone has spent a lifetime planting churches in Muslim communities and can testify to the life-changing power of the gospel in even the most unpromising circumstances. This is his autobiography. Unwanted at birth and born out of wedlock no-one would have considered that Greg Livingstone would become a pioneer in missions to unreached Muslim peoples. You've Got Libya charts his journey and his adventures. This first-hand narrative is full of compelling humor and self-depreciating honesty as Livingstone travels all over the world proclaiming the Gospel. The result is a page turning tour de force that urges the reader to pursue God unreservedly and to join with Him in the adventure of pursuing the lost. Greg's burden for the millions of Muslims who had no gospel witness amongst them led to the launching of Frontiers, a mission agency focusing exclusively on church planting amongst Muslim communities. Today, Frontiers is a movement of more than 1,000 field workers in nearly 50 countries.
