The Book

When I led the recruiting effort for FrontiersUSA, I heard people say, “That sounds interesting, but I don’t what it would look like for me.”


I interviewed about 100 people who had gone abroad, and asked them, “How did you discover your calling?” Uncharted Mission: Going to the Final Frontiers is their stories.


Here’s the back of the book:

Too Soon to Celebrate—Too Soon to Quit


“Lord, why another mission agency? There are already so many good ones,” Greg Livingstone cried out on a beach in 1983. But, as he made his case to God that He should find someone else to change the world, the answer became clear: the world needed a new agency, operating in a new way, that would focus entirely on all Muslim peoples.

So began the wild, risky, worthy story told in Uncharted Mission, a book that is more than the history of the founding of Frontiers. D. C. Keane weaves together interviews with over one hundred missionaries who refused to accept the status quo in missions and were willing to go where no one had gone before—to the Muslim frontiers. In this inspiring true story, you’ll meet pastors, engineers, artists, pilots, and others whose lives changed course when they discovered that Muslims were largely left out of historic missionary efforts.

This is a book for innovators who ask, as Greg Livingstone always asks, “How can we do this better? How can we improve?" Don’t simply admire the ground-breakers who went before us in this compelling narrative; there is still work to be done. There are still “frontiers” of mission for the next generation of Christians who want to change the world, because it is too soon to celebrate and too soon to quit.

Listen as Greg Livingstone reflects on his 1983 walk on a Ventura, CA beach.
