Relation to your Home Church
from Bridges to Your Church (p. 62 of the book Stepping Out), summarized by JR
One: Communicate – pray, ask for advice and listen to it
Two: Learn the church’s channels – get to know the sending church inside and out
Three: Submit – live under authority
Four: Recruit people to pray
Five: Involve people financially
Six: Ask for the church for a commissioning – get commissioned by the church leadership
Seven: Report back – a lack of response discourages a church from sponsoring other short-term involvement
