Итог:This qualitative study examines paradigms of the definition of mission as held by high-level Assembly of God pastors and missionary leaders. The study reveals that the two groups differ in their definition of mission.

Implications for missionary leadership suggest a targeted marketing approach; using niche strategies directed to the mission-funding churches may be needed.
