2016 Mission Leaders Conference
Personnel

Why do missions’ leaders and missionaries experience so much angst about raising support? Because it’s a spiritual battle! We must see personal fund development through the lenses of God’s eyes. Christian missions agencies often “de-spiritualize” raising support. How can we trust God to fulfill the Great Commission, if we cannot trust Him to provide our daily bread? Raising support must be rooted in God’s Word. It’s time to reclaim this essential spiritual discipline. Let’s take a fresh look at what God has to say about His provision for those He’s called to serve Him full time.

Should We Drop the Term ‘Missionary’?

Has anybody here seen a missionary? It is much easier to spot one than it is to define one. They have been engaged in a variety of tasks from auto maintenance to evangelism, from school teaching to administration, from medical work to translating the Scriptures. But still the question remains: What is a missionary?
