RIDING THE FOURTH WAVE: Every Believer Finding their God-given place in the Great Commission
Endorsements received for Stuart's forthcoming book:
"The men of Issachar were the military scouts of Israel, who knew what God was doing through His people, but also understood what the enemy was up to and were able to report to God's people God's strategy for that season. Stuart Simpson, a friend and co-worker in Christ's kingdom, is such a man today. Having lived as a missionary with his wonderful family in three continents, and especially with his China experience, the author has a global perspective which he passes on to the reader in an interesting, informative, concise, yet powerful way in his book, Riding the Fourth Wave. It's a "must read book" for all who want to see Christ's Great Commission finished in this generation."
- Loren Cunningham, founder, Youth With A Mission
"I love this book! Stuart Simpson's new book, Riding the Fourth Wave, is a must read for every follower of Jesus who is serious about their walk with God. Stuart gives God's blueprint for each of us to find our place in fulfilling our God-given assignment as part of God's agenda, the Great Commission. Riding the Fourth Wave shows us practially how every believer and every local community (church) of believers need to become missional in the way we live our lives. The truths in this book will change the world!"
- Larry Kreider, DOVE International Director and author of over 30 books
"Riding the Fourth Wave is more than a "must read" for those interested in God's purpose for ALL His people. It should be a book study in every evangelistically conscious and/or kingdom-oriented local church, and a text for students who want to understand God's mission in our world. It is a wonderfully referenced look at three prior waves of modern mission thrusts of the Church, and a thoughtful and scripturally-based proposal for what Stuart Simpson calls the "Fourth Wave".
- Bob Moffitt, president, Harvest Foundation & Co-founder of the Disciple Nations Alliance
"Riding the Fourth Wave provides us with a thoroughly stimulating guide to help the church re-align itself around God's eternal purposes in Jesus. Written with the view to world missions, it is applicable to the Western church as well. A good read."
- Alan Hirsch, author/activist/dreamer (theforgottenways.com)
"Riding the Fourth Wave reflects the massive paradigm shifts in the global church, the peoples still to be reached, and methods and models of how to see effective mission and kingdom transformation. Stuart's insights are timely and highly relevant for everyone who wants to see all nations discipled and to engage the whole Church in mission. We are living in a time of huge change and reading Riding the Fourth Wave will both inspire and challenge you. For some it may raise some uncomfortable questions, while for others it will be a huge encouragement and endorsement of new ways of being church and of doing mission. I will be recommending it as a "must read" to everyone involved in Kairos around the world."
- Linda Harding, International Executive Director of Kairos International, and European Director of World Outreach
"Stuart Simpson's book, Riding the Fourth Wave, is pointing both Christians who are committed to missions and the larger church to the future of the Church's engagement in the world."
- Darrow Miller, Co-founder, Disciple Nations Alliance, and author, LifeWork: A Biblical Theology for What You Do Every Day
"Stuart Simpson has provided us with a sweeping, cobweb-clearing vision of the ongoing movement of God, not only in the past, but as it is presently unfolding. Christians in what is wrongly called "secular work", local church leaders, and mission boards need to let the message of this book disrupt traditional categories and point the way down a path so old it seems new."
- Larry Peabody, author, Serving Christ in the Workplace and Job-Shadowing Daniel: Walking the Talk at Work
"This book serves as a timely reminder to all that every Christian has a part to play to reach the world for Jesus. It seeks to redefine missions, expanding the responsibility of evangelism to include EVERYONE!"
- Rev. Dr. Kong Hee, City Harvest Church, Singapore

LEAFLETS
WHY ARE THE WORKERS SO FEW? free
In Luke 10:2, Jesus made a statement that has been repeated countless times by those with a heart for world mission:
"The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest."
Why, when the harvest set before us is so large, are the workers required to bring in the precious souls from the earth, so few?
This article, written by Stuart (under his pen name)highlights the reasons Jesus Himself gives just prior to making the statement, about how people respond to thte great harvest of souls in our world.
