“If you sense God has called you to take the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to another culture, I highly recommend you purchase and read Danny Lamastra’s Pursuing the Call. He draws from his experience as a missionary to El Salvador to provide easy to understand and essential to follow principles to get to the mission field, overcome common challenges, and stay healthy for a lifetime of effective service.”
Alan Ehler

“Unfair! That’s what I felt after reading Danny’s book.  It was unfair that I did not have such a book when my wife and I embarked on our missionary journey.  We would have avoided many mistakes, been much more prepared, or learned things much quicker. This book will be a blessing to countless numbers, and help smooth their transition to wherever the Lord may be leading them.”
Dave Flynn
Latin America Team Leader, Center for Mission Mobilization
