COMMISSIONING MISSIONARIES
SENDING CHURCH ELEMENT #10
A sending church commissions missionaries by publicly setting them apart for the work to which God has called them. This communal recognition in obedience to the Holy Spirit involves worship, prayer, and the laying on of hands. It also clarifies the church’s sending responsibilities and reminds the entire church of its sent identity.
