Partnering with a local church or national conference in another country sounds like a great idea. But what happens when the "romance" ends and reality takes over? Relationships take a lot of work, and often, what partners consider helpful can actually hinder the work of God.
Building Strategic Relationships, by Daniel Rickett, is a very practical book, full of checklists and practical suggestions. The author begins with values, and a discussion of dependency, giving, receiving, and accountability dominates a good portion of the rest of the book. If you are, or are considering a partnership with an overseas leader or church, this book is absolutely indispensible.
