Commissioning

leaving - a process, not an event

• Read Acts 13. You will see that this is more than just a rousing send-off, with a ‘goodbye’, at the end. The sense of still belonging, even when serving at the other end of the world, is so important. 
• Maintaining that connection through thick and thin might make all the difference between success and failure. 
• Encourage the field worker to maintain the connection to the church - and make sure you do too!
