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.
Read this hoping for insight about supporting missionaries as a church. It had some good questions for reflection. It emphasized the importance of sending missionaries to the 10/40 window, which is a topic that I know very little about. Overall a few interesting tidbits, but not nearly as well written or practical as I had hoped.
Well written. Carefully edited. Focuses on the basics. Balances principles and nuts-and-bolts quite well. My agency hopes to put this book in the hands of more and more of the church leaders with whom we partner.
