Tonight we continued our discussion on the responsibility of the sender. This is such an interesting subject. Even if we are involved in co-ordinating or going we should still be sending and it is important that we take that role seriously. We need to see our relationship with our missionary as a partnership. We discussed what that involved. It is definitely not only finances and prayer. The sender needs to understand strategy (those past and present) even better than the goer does. He needs to walk with the missionary every step of the way and help the missionary to become as effective as possible. There are many ways of doing this. The number one thing that stood out for us is that we need to be educated senders and that requires taking up our responsibility and learning how to do that.
We also touched on message, model, mandate and power. One thing is certain and that is that we learn so much every time we get together.
