SENDING

Preparing the Framework and Safety Nets

Great! You’ve selected a person or family to become your very own Long-Term Cross-Cultural Worker (LTCCW). Don’t stop with simply giving your LTCCW money and sending her on her way. Proper preparation prevents problems that would otherwise impede the project. When the sending structure is involved in helping with these details, your church and your LTCCW will experience the blessing of a properly functioning missional body.
