equip before you send.
In today’s church, there is a pressing urgency to send believers across the globe to proclaim the gospel of Christ. Yet in that urgency, we often overlook the essential preparation needed to equip missionaries for lasting, effective ministry. Scripture makes it clear that the local church has a responsibility to train missionaries—not only in Bible knowledge and sound theology, but also in how those truths shape their character and daily lives. This training can’t be outsourced entirely to Bible colleges or seminaries. The church must know those it sends—walking with them, observing their growth, and ensuring they are equipped to plant churches that will endure, proclaim the gospel, and make disciples.

“It is my conviction that the local church must take the primary responsibility of training their missionaries to take the gospel to the unreached peoples of the world. This is not the responsibility of a sending agency; it is the task of the church. Let us not fail in this endeavor any longer. ”
-Brian murphy, CHIEF executive OFFICER - xl ministries

They will not get this training and information at a sending agency. This book helps one to think through the biblical mandate for churches to train their missionaries. Get your copy today!
