But some places and peoples make it especially difficult, showing painfully-little visible fruit over decades or even centuries. Kurdistan is one of those places. But that doesn’t mean God hasn’t been at work, nor does it mean there aren’t valuable lessons to be learned, even from “failures.” From his on-the-ground experience in Kurdistan and his study of past missionary work there, Bob Blincoe presents this thorough history of missions to the Kurdish people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMore than mere history, \u003cem\u003eEthnic Realities and the Church\u003c\/em\u003e is also a mission-strategy handbook. Here are helpful insights and implications not only for those who would still reach the Kurds for Christ, but for missionaries to any people group, especially where tilling the soil is particularly hard.

It captures the dedication and perseverance of the missionaries and the obstacles they encountered. But its greatest contribution is in the evaluating the missiological decisions they made up to the threshold of the present decade, in which some Kurds, without an earthly homeland, have found a heavenly one through Him who had no place to lay His head.\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ccite\u003eJ.
