One sending church reports:
The Sending New Missionaries package is fantastic! I am greatly impressed with the quality of the thinking. Among my favorite sections is the "25 Ways to Connect." Just reading those gave me another dozen ideas.... As a sending church, we really need this kind of help on how we can best serve our new appointees. Our missions team will use these materials to start building broader understanding, and I would like to lead our elders through it too.
