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.

Read moreThe Privilege of Being a Sending Church
I wonder what springs to mind when we think of sending and supporting mission workers? Perhaps there’s that line in your church budget for mission elsewhere.
