How can church leaders discern when someone is truly ready to be sent? Assessment is one of the most crucial—and often most misunderstood—steps in the sending process. In this audio-only training, we’ll move beyond theory to show you what a real missionary assessment can sound like.
 
Join us for a mock assessment interview that brings the process to life. You’ll hear the role-play of missions pastor Peter (Nathan Sloan), missionary candidate Paula (special guest), advocate Mary (Hannah Parker), and small group leader Sam (Bradley Bell) in a realistic assessment conversation, demonstrating both the structure and the heart behind a healthy evaluation. From asking wise questions to responding with grace and clarity, you’ll gain practical insights you can take straight into your church’s own process.
 
Whether you’re just starting to develop a sending pipeline or refining an existing one, this training will help you see how to assess candidates not only for readiness but also for relational and spiritual health—so your church can send them well.
