The goodness of the Lord has allowed me to labor as a pastor and as an evangelist in His vineyard for over sixty-five years. Three generations of the Ballestero family including my parents, myself, and my children have started ten churches in six states. Every church at some point was considered a home mission’s church. As of 2023, I have preached twelve hundred revivals, five hundred conferences, and over one hundred camp meetings, not counting marriage seminars, banquets, and various other special services. Sometimes services have been held in prisons, on cruise ships, in school auditoriums, in a school band room, in motel rooms, in basements, on front porches, in living rooms, in fellowship halls, in daycare centers, in storefronts, on street corners, in garages, in Goodwill’s corporate office, in civic auditoriums, in a barn, and in church buildings. Not every sermon is preached in a building with a steeple, but where two or three are gathered together in His name, it is still a church.

In the past we have focused on the “why” of missions in terms of motives, the “what” of missions in terms of the content of the message, and the “how” of missions in terms of methodologies and strategies, but the “where” question, in terms of where we send cross-cultural workers, has simply been assumed; it has meant crossing a geographic boundary. In Apostolic Function in 21st Century Missions, Alan R. Johnson introduces the idea of apostolic function as the paradigm of missionary self-identity that reminds us to focus our efforts on where Christ is not named. He then examines in detail the “where” paradigm in missions, frontier mission missiology, with a sympathetic critique and a review of the major contributions of unreached people group thinking. Johnson concludes by illustrating his notion of seeking to integrate missions paradigms and discussing of issues that relate specifically to the “where” questions of missions today. 2nd in the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, J.
