Steve Beirn moves the conversation on global missionary sending from the mission agency to the front door of the local church. With a special chapter by George Murray, Well Sent equips local churches in launching missionary sending through scalable guidance, accessible illustrations, and practical action points. More than a how-to manual, Well Sent critically evaluates topics such as sending perception and evaluation of the missionary call. This book will prepare potential missionary candidates for service and support the missional efforts of any church. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=9780357676806&i=stripbooks&crid=1TU38EZUKSMDT&sprefix=9%2Cstripbooks%2C120&ref=nb_sb_noss_2
