Resource Paper 11: Guidelines for missionary candidates in developing a prayer support team
A programme of personal partnership development is the means by which missionary candidates seek to involve friends in the ministry to which they are called.
They should make their ministry known to as many people as possible inviting those they meet to consider partnering with them, while trusting God to speak to those whom He wants to be on their team.
In developing a support team there is a tendency to think of support primarily in terms of finance; this is a mistake. The focus needs to be on building a prayer team to stand with the missionary for the long term.
The following means of developing a partnership team are detailed:
- Writing prayer letters
- Other opportunities
- Practical support needs that partners can meet
- Potential resources available
