RECEIVING SENT-ONES DURING RE-ENTRY
SENDING CHURCH ELEMENT #15
A sending church receives sent ones during reentry by planning to meet their sent ones’ needs (including children) when they leave on furlough, transition indefinitely, or retire. Aware of the unique challenges of reentry, church leaders and members give special attention to formal and informal debriefing. They also seek to help sent ones assimilate back into culture and reintegrate into the church’s local mission. - Upstream Collective Sending Church Element #15
