In this insightful conversation, Jonny Ardavanis sits down with missionary Brooks Buser to discuss the local church's vital role in global missions. Brooks, who served 13 years as a missionary among the Yembi people, shares practical wisdom on:
Key Topics Covered:
• Why missions should flow from local churches, not independent efforts
• The four primary lanes of modern missions work
• How to move from "naval gazing" to global vision as a church
• Practical ways families can "hold the rope" for missionaries
• Creating sustainable missions budgets and policies
• Quality vs. quantity: Why fewer, deeper partnerships work better
• What missionaries actually need when they return home
Perfect for:
• Pastors developing missions strategies
• Church members wanting to engage in global missions
• Anyone interested in biblical approaches to sending and supporting missionaries
Brooks emphasizes that effective missions requires both "goers and senders" working together, with local churches serving as the primary sending agents rather than just financial supporters.
