3. Developing an International Ministry
As a leader in your church you have the ability to cast vision and lead others to understand global missions. This resource will give you ideas on how to lead the leaders and members of your church towards a greater understanding and application God's global mission.
4. Provide Missionary Care
Once a missionary is sent, the job is not over for the church, it has just begun. The sending church plays a vital role in providing care for the missionary and their family. This resource will guide your church through a care framework called "advocacy teams."
