The role of All-Nations is to partner with churches in sending church-planting teams. Brother Earl gives a succinct overview of the All-Nations mission, from the sending church partner to the envisioned indigenous church, and explains biblically why our mission is about the church!
Serving as Senders: Caring for Your Field Members – Joel Yoder
Joel Yoder gives practical wisdom that will enable senders to effectively support the one they have sent. He gives a wealth of tips for the support team and what roles should be present, the duties they should perform, and the importance of every member on the team. Though serving the role of the sender isn't as glamorous and visible as the one who is sent, it is vital to the long-term effectiveness of the endeavor.

"When you invest your time and brain space, your heart goes with it."
