International (MNN) ― In a time when many ministries are scaling back, SEND International just appointed six new missionaries.
The new missionary teams will be returning home to begin raising support for their future kingdom building work in Spain, Ukraine, Japan and Albanian ministries.
On the field, SEND missionaries use a variety of outreach methods to meet unbelievers and bring them to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. They also work to disciple new believers so they mature into responsible, reproducing Christians who will form reproducing churches.
It's not a process entered lightly. SEND is committed to train, teach and develop leaders in every place of ministry, under the accountability and authority of the local church. Pray that they will be able to raise their support quickly.
The ministry is always looking to train new leaders to step up and replace those who are are either retiring or coming home for various reasons.
SEND reports that since returning from Urbana 09 in St. Louis, Missouri last month, there's been a lot of interest.
SEND Mobilizers are in the process of following-up with the more than 200 students they met at the student missions conference. Several Urbana students have already submitted long-term applications. Between the six new appointees and the students, the team is thanking God for calling more workers into the harvest field.
