Synopsis

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.

Review:

"No missionary is well sent without the prayerful, proactive sending of their local Body. However, the 'how' of that sending process is left up to the church. In Well Sent, Missions Pastor Steve Beirn lays the foundational principles for biblical sending and shares many practical how-tos for fulfilling the church's mobilization role." --Ellen Livingood "President of Catalyst Services"

"I recommend Well Sent: Reimagining the Church's Missionary Sending Process because it is both encyclopedic in scope and cook-book in style and usefulness. The book includes more than sufficient analysis and creative thinking to engage the best minds in churches and missions agencies." --Jim Reapsome "Editor of Evangelical Missions Quarterly"

"Reliable, biblical, and practical guide to developing a missions-minded church. The appendices alone are worth the effort to "reimage the church's missionary sending process." I heartily endorse this book for helping build a God-honoring missions-minded church." --Robertson McQuilkin "President Emeritus of Columbia International University"
