Book Recommendation: Superplan: A journey into God's Story

Growing up in a small, rural Texas town, Chris Clayman’s journey to West Africa and then to one of the worlds largest and most diverse cities may be surprising to some.  But in light of God’s superplan, it makes perfect sense.  

Clayman is the Co-Founder and an Associate Director of Global Gates, a mission organization focused on reaching the ends of the earth through global gateway cities.  Superplan:  A Journey into God’s Story is Clayman’s telling of his unexpected journey into the superplan of God.  It is a book filled with encouragement and challenges readers to step into risk taking obedience to Jesus.

“Superplan” is a term a Bangladeshi brother in New York City coined in thinking about his own story and after hearing the of the circuitous journey on which God took Chris to bring him to Harlem where he regularly shares the love of Jesus with the very West African Muslims he had hoped to reach when he originally moved across the ocean.  

"God’s Superplan is the redemptive story of God, rooted in eternity, recorded in the Bible, and realized even today. God’s Superplan transcends our strengths and weaknesses, victories and sufferings, ideas and efforts. In dramatic ways, God is drawing people into knowledge and love of him from all peoples and areas of the world. This redemptive story is one God does not keep to himself. Instead, he beckons us to leave our mundane, small plans to join him in his Grand Narrative." - Chris Clayman

Part memoir, part biography of former Muslims, part missiological treaties, Superplan is an excellent book.  The book is also a lens into ministry among diaspora peoples in North America and is therefore both an instructive and helpful resource for anyone wanting to share the love of Jesus with immigrants and refugees.   

​Superplan is a vivid example that modern missions is truly everywhere to everywhere.
