Ed and Patricia Pinegar have always had a tender spot in their hearts for missionaries. Not only did they serve together when he was the President of the England, London South Mission, but they helped 35,000 missionaries prepare for the mission fireld when he served as President of the Missionary Training Center. In Preparing the Lord's Missionary, Brother and Sister Pinegar share practical and proven methods that parents can use to help their sons and daughters prepare to serve the Lord and be effective missionaries. Quoting from a former mission president, they teach: 'Faith is the power. Love is the motive. Obedience is the price. The Spirit is the key. For Christ is the reason.'

Using stories and examples from their wealth of experience, Brother and Sister Pinegar describe the seven key characteristics of a succesful missionary and suggest ways to develop those traits in children. 'Teach your children to be grateful. Gratitude for the Lord will give them a desire. Desire is the thing that's necessary for one to serve. It is so important to start when children are young to inspire them and give them the desire to serve.' They also review specific ways that parents can support missionaries who are already out serving. Preparing the Lord's Missionary will be a valuable tool for parents of all future missionaries.
