"Missionary Survey As An Aid To Intelligent Co-Operation In Foreign Missions" by Roland Allen and Thomas Cochrane is a scholarly publication written in the early 20th century. The book addresses the complexities of foreign missions, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive survey to better understand and coordinate missionary efforts globally. It explores the disparities in missionary distribution and advocates for a more systematic approach to effectively allocate resources and efforts in different mission fields. The opening of the book provides a preface that outlines its purpose and the rationale behind conducting a missionary survey. The authors highlight the significant inconsistencies in the distribution of missionaries and emphasize that without a thorough survey, societies cannot ensure they are using their resources wisely. They introduce the idea that a unified, coordinated purpose among different missionary societies is essential for effective collaboration in foreign missions. The introduction further indicates that this work intends to present not just the facts and figures surrounding missionary activities but also to stimulate thoughtful discussions and strategies among mission leaders and supporters to foster more meaningful engagement in global missions.
