What do you do when a potential missionary candidate isn't a good fit? Should mobilizers tell potential candidates, "No"? Or perhaps you have a great candidate ready to go to the field, but field leadership won't accept them. What do you do then? Listen to this episode of the Missionary Mobilization Podcast as host Dave Jacob chats with Jared Gleason who has served on both sides of the sending pipeline. You'll discover some of the best ways to navigate these difficult situations. Here's what the two discussed:
1. What are some reasons why a potential candidate would not be a good fit?
2. Mobilizers have such a passion to send people to the field. Is it OK for a mobilizer to say no, or is that the responsibility of someone else in the organization?
3. Sometimes the agency or church has a great candidate, but the field can’t receive them. What are some of the reasons the field would turn down a candidate?
4. If the field can’t or won’t receive the candidate, what can the mobilizer do?
5. How would you encourage a mobilizer who is trying to send a qualified candidate, but the field says no?
6. Besides saying no to a potential candidate, what other options are there for churches and agencies who want to send someone but maybe they’re not quite ready to go?
