God has chosen the local church to be the primary means for fulfilling Christ’s commission; therefore, churches are primary in the sending process. At FieldPartner, we want to help sending churches to:
• Affirm the call of one desiring to move to a new culture as a missionary.
• Partner with agencies in assessing readiness for cross-cultural ministry.
• Provide opportunities for growth and development in ministry.
• Join in the partner development journey.
• Provide ongoing care and support after deployment.

My Tribute, and Debt to, George Verwer
George Verwer died on April 14th, as I write only 8 short days ago.

I wrote the facts of his life in a […]

C.T. Studd once said: “Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly into heaven, without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Let us see to it that the devil will hold a thanksgiving service in hell, when he gets the news of our departure from the […]
Read moreThe Beauty of Collaboration
I recently received an update from a soon-to-be partner and found that they were starting to offer online options for their courses. So, I did a fun exercise and went through several of our other partners’ sites. I discovered that post-Covid several others had started offering online options or versions of their trainings. In view […]
Read moreWhat Cross-Cultural Mission Is & What It Isn't!
We desperately need a Biblical definition of cross-cultural mission today. “James Hudson Taylor (Chinese: 戴德生) was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission. Taylor spent 51 years in China” (Wikipedia). Hudson Taylor was a cross-cultural missionary! But we also need to define what Hudson Taylor was not: i) […]
