There are a variety of valid reasons for this thinking. Sending and supporting American missionaries is costly both in terms of funds and effort.

In this episode, I reflect on my years helping to start churches and train leaders in Houston—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently if I could start over. From raising leaders too quickly to rethinking oikos evangelism and the role of apostolic leaders, this is an honest look at the real challenges behind trying to spark a disciple-making movement in an American city—and what Scripture and experience have taught me along the way.

Some claim that we should no longer send American missionaries overseas, but instead should just send American funds to national ministry partners in unreached places. There are a variety of valid reasons for this thinking. Sending and supporting American missionaries is costly both in terms of funds and effort. We Americans have to learn new languages, procure visas, and face countless cross-cultural challenges. The picture of global missionary sending around the world is changing, and many other countries around the world are sending more missionaries now than ever. However, sending missionaries is biblical! Listen in as we discuss various reasons for the American church to keep sending missionaries.
