About this episode

Alan Garnett discusses how churches can effectively prepare their missionary candidates for the field.

We know that buying a plane ticket doesn't make someone a missionary; instead, it takes calling, preparation, and support. That's why, on this episode of The Sent Life, we decided to sit down with IMB Candidate Consultant Alan Garnett to talk about how churches can better prepare their missionary candidates for the field. Drawing from years of experience evaluating prospective missionaries, Alan shares practical insights to help us faithfully equip those sent to the nations. Thanks for tuning in to The Sent Life!
