Missionary tales were favorites of mine when I was young, but I stopped reading them as I grew up and sensed God calling me to put down roots and serve my neighbors. Reading this astonishing and beautiful testimony of Gods work in the world, I saw with new eyes the value of my own small yes. When we say yes to God, even in small things, our hearts and then our communities can be transformed to an extent we might never have imagined. The Yes Effect revealed my own place in a much larger story of Gods goodness and faithfulness and inspired me to go on, every day, saying yes.

A terrific book! From beginning to end, Luis graciously proclaims the love of God and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ while at the same time tirelessly reminding us of the pain and suffering of mankind. To such a world of need and desperation, the book gives a passionate call for Christians to step up and be enlisted in Gods service to fulfill Christs Great Commission by carrying on the task of reaching the world with the gospel!

Almost every dedicated Christian is aware of the 10/40 Window but few know the origin of this unique focus on a swath of land stretching from southern Europe and North Africa to the Far East.

If you dont know Luis, read The Yes Effect for the compelling stories and contagious passion. You might just put it down to go out and change your world.

Luis Bush, an experienced leader, gives us excellent advice in this book. Because we know that God gives the gifts of the Holy Spirit to every believer, and that each of us is unique in our gifts and context, he encourages us to use those gifts by listening for and responding to God with a resounding yes! When you do, amazing things will happen.

Its easy to look at all the needs in the world, the extreme brokenness and lostness, and to feel overwhelmed. But you will be encouraged, strengthened, and inspired as you read The Yes Effect. You couldnt have a better guide weaving together stories of how the Lord has shown up again and again and helping you move from despair to glad engagement.

In our ministry, we often talk about the immeasurable effect of small and simple acts of ministry. When I think of the power of yes, I think of Luis Bush. He has truly revolutionized much of the way the church thinks and approaches world evangelization. Through moving stories and deeply rooted hope, The Yes Effect leads us on a journey to engaging the real (and sometimes overwhelming) need in our world through the compassionate heart of God, uncovering how each of us can boldly and practically say yes to God right where we are. Begin your yes effect journey by saying yes to reading this book.

Dick Eastman | International President of Every Home for Christ

Jesus commanded His followers to disciple the nations first by the transformation of individual lives through salvation and then through them to transform the lives, structures, and cultures around them. Luis Bush invites our participation by drawing on his own unusual life and ministries and upon those men and women of the global networks he has nurtured. These pages contain many inspiring stories of how ordinary people have been used by God to do extraordinary things in todays world. May you also be inspired to obey Gods call!

The Yes Effect is gripping and beautifully written. I could not put it down! Each chapter is filled with captivating stories that illustrate a greater challenge for each of us. I recommend it to anyone who isnt afraid to have their heart stirred.
