Abba’s House Missions is especially focused on assisting with preparation for being sent out. We also desire to be an encouragement to those who may have returned from the field and are taking some time for rest and renewal. We believe that an involved support group is vitally important, and we want to be a part of that support if at all possible.
Your commitment to follow the call is an inspiration to us. We encourage you to maximize your time by developing a support team that is consistent and that includes people who will be able to encourage and assist you throughout your ministry. A support team should include a group of people who can supply you with some of the following:
- Spiritual support and accountability
- Moral Support
- Logistical Support
- Financial Assistance
- Prayer Support
- Regular Communication
- Reentry Support upon return
These points are taken from an excellent resource for developing a healthy and effective support team. The book is Serving As Senders, by Neal Pirolo. You can find a link it as well as several other helpful resources
Sincerely,
Abba’s House Ministries
