Do you ever get frustrated with the church/agency relationship? Take a listen to today's episode as Dave talks with Missions Pastor, Randy Jumper from First North Little Rock Church. Randy unpacks what he calls, With-ing, a concept that does missions together and goes beyond partnership. He expounds on keeping the local church as the main driver of missions without the church having a self-centered, self-fulfilling missiological strategy. You'll learn why missionary re-entry training is more essential than ever and why mission agencies should consider hiring non-missionaries for agency leadership roles. Specifically, Dave asked Randy the following questions:org
- In your article, you write that "The church views itself as a 'with-ing' partner rather than a sending partner." Can you explain that a little bit?
- What factors have influenced this shift to “with-ing"?
- Are there any negative implications of shifting from a sending mindset to a with-ing mindset?
- Randy, in your article, you mention some suggestions for denominational sending agencies. Can you share some of those with us?
- What are some ways missionaries can partner better with churches?
- What are some suggestions for churches in partnering with missionaries and sending agencies?
