The 1990s was one of the most remarkable periods in the history of the spread of Christianity. It was a decade of the gathering greatest harvest of any since Pentecost. It was a decade also that for the first time gave us a full list of the world’s peoples to be discipled. It was a decade of amazing cooperative effort to bring the Gospel to them. At the heart of this effort was the ministry of Interdev under the leadership Phill Butler which helped catalyze many regional, national and people cluster partnerships that so contributed to this harvest. It is from this worldwide strategic ministry that Phill has drawn to give us distilled wisdom that is so applicable to the ministry challenges of the 21st Century.

This book by Phill Butler is destined to make a significant impact on the work of contemporary Christian organizations. Mission groups and churches are discovering
that God blesses cooperative efforts when those involved cease to be concerned about who is in control and who gets credit. Phill has extensive experience in facilitating collaboration among partners with a common objective without requiring a compromise of doctrinal convictions and relinquishment of resources. The kingdom of God throughout the world will not be established by “Lone Rangers” but the people of God working together. Phill Butler is to be commended for putting this useful guide into print; it is not theory but grows out of a lifetime of servant leadership.

No one person in the modern history of missions has worked with greater creativity and relentless purpose or with greater or more strategic fruit for his labors. Phill Butler here collects and distills years of hard-earned insight into the all-important concept of totally autonomous entities joining forces in the most crucial of all human endeavors. This is one of those very rare books which became an essential classic the day it was born.

Collaboration is the form of the future as networks replace command and control hierarchies everywhere. Increasing its one world – one body of Christ. Phill Butler, who I have known for years, is the reigning expert. Well-Connected! is the how-to and the why-to book for this global revolution. It’s a must read.
