"The title Indigenous Missional Leadership sets out for its readers a term of reference to equip and empower reflective mission practitioners to be engaged in God's work through the life of a nation. The festschrift calls on the church to invest in leadership, character formation, education and the shaping of a people's ideology/theology. A case in point is the life and mission of the Late Rev. Dr. Paul V. Gupta-his sincerity, simplicity and steadfastness to his call. The festschrift calls on the church to move beyond the 'nationalisation-indigenisation' frame to proactively drive change in a nation, fulfilling God's purposes for the nation."
