How do church leaders typically promote the sending of mission workers?

Church leaders typically promote the sending of mission workers by fostering relational engagement and discipleship. This approach emphasizes building meaningful connections within the church community and encouraging individuals to grow spiritually. Discipleship involves mentoring and equipping potential mission workers with both the spiritual and practical tools needed for effective missionary work.

When church leaders create an environment where members feel connected and supported, it helps nurture a sense of calling and commitment to missions. Engaging the congregation in discussions about mission work, sharing testimonies, and providing opportunities for involvement—whether through prayer, financial support, or hands-on ministry—are all part of this relational approach. By cultivating an atmosphere of discipleship, leaders inspire their congregants to respond to the Great Commission and actively participate in mission initiatives, thereby increasing the number of workers sent into the field.

In contrast, limiting mission awareness to adults, arguing against involvement, or only hosting charity events do not effectively inspire or mobilize the church community towards missions. These approaches may restrict engagement and diminish the active participation needed for cultivating a vibrant mission-sending culture.
