Serving as Senders

I ordered 3 of the same books on my 2nd order and only received 1. It was charged on my account

We are all called to be involved in missions! This book helps those of us who are not called to leave our homes (sender) how to be involved in the lives of those who are called to leave their country to spread the good news of Jesus Christ (missionary). In order for the missionary to be successful, each one needs a strong support team. This book clearly defines the role of the sender and gives practical steps to carry out that role. If you even know of a missionary, you need to read this book. If you don't know of a missionary, you need to read this book and find one!

Serving as Senders is an excellent eye opener for supporting missionaries. Every missions committee member and senior pastor needs to read this book. It is very practical and motivating.

A great book for a mission's team in a sending church. This is must reading before your missionary returns home. How can you best meet their needs and understand their thinking if you have never been out of the country? This book will open up your thinking to missions as never before!

"Serving as Senders" is an important book for churches and individuals serious about missions work. Pirolo outlines for readers the need for senders... those who suppport missionaries here at home. He then gives practical reasons and ways we can help. Chapters include: * Moral support * Logistics support * Financial support * Prayer support * Communication support * Re-entry support This book can be used as a guide as you look at your church's missions program, or as you evaluate your own skills and gifts. Missionaries are a long way from home, loved ones, and things which are familiar. They are gone from a church they believe is behind them. Their needs are great, and we have the resources. How do we help them? When I bought this book at a local church's missions week, I thought I understood what the concept of sending was all about. Now I see it not just as an occasional thing, but a ministry in itself. I fully recommend this book. Anthony Trendl editor, HungarianBookstore.com

As a missions-minded Christian in a church just forming its missions plan, I highly recommend this book. The chapters dealing with caring for missionaries when they return, either permanently or on furlough, are strategic. This is an area often overlooked in missions strategies.
