Tuesday, Sept 15: 8:30 am – 12:00 pm
Ever wondered how to become a church who sends missionaries? Are you already sending missionaries, but don’t quite know how to continue the relationship and care for them well? Would you say by God’s grace you’re doing well, but you want to get better and connect with other sending churches and leaders? The Sending Church Lab is for you.
Spend time being encouraged & equipped by IMB mobilization staff, hearing from current missionaries and sending churches, and developing your own strategies and plans for how to send well.
Part of our time together will be spent in workshops where you and your team will evaluate and work on your own church’s plans in real time.
