Ross’s original call in the 60s was to serve the people and church of China. His first destination as a missionary was to Taiwan in 1969, and today he travels the world encouraging believers to embrace a biblical burden for world mission. Christine was brought up in a mission environment, with her parents having worked in Africa for forty years. This is where Christine spent her early years. This experience has equipped her to support and be the ministry partner for her husband Ross. Ross’s previous publications include The Antioch Factor: The Hidden Message Of The Book Of Acts.
Reviews
‘This book is a wonderful resource for all who are called to work cross-culturally. Rod and Ruthie write as ones who know the on-the-ground realities of such a call. It seems to me that Jesus Himself needed such a team as He ministered; how much more do we? This is an incarnational-life-on-life-in-glorious-action handbook that will help us to thrive and not just survive in our calling. It brings honour to Him.’ – Kwen Ip: Chair of the Board of Directors, Bethany Ministries Hong Kong
‘PACT to Go is a valuable handbook that will give you “tools” to function well on the mission field. We saw firsthand the security, safety, wise counsel and commitment that a PACTeam gave to Rod and Ruthie in India. This book makes it simple and attainable in whatever your circumstances may be.’ – Tim and Karol Svaboda YWAM San Francisco
