Product Description
Serving As Senders: How to Care for Your Missionaries While They are Preparing to Go, While They are on the Field and When They Return Home. The title says it all! A missionary needs care in at least six areas: Moral Support, Logistics Support, Financial Support, Prayer Support, Communication Support, and Reentry Support. This book gives scores of practical ideas in how a team can provide the necessary care for a missionary. Chapter One tells "when" and "why" a missionary needs care. Chapters Two through Seven deal with each of the six areas of care. Chapter Eight brings it back to the individual's involvement in caregiving. A Study Guide for groups is included.

Serving as Senders December 2, 2006
Serving as Senders is an excellent eye opener for supporting missionaries. Every missions committee member and senior pastor needs to read this book. It is very practical and motivating.
Send and Serve Them, Don't Just Send and Forget Them September 4, 2002

For me, this book became a significant eye and heart opener to a Christian worldview for missions and caring for missionaries. It not only served me in understanding and becoming a better sender, but as a cared for goer. There is no legitimate reason the church sends missionaries as "disposables," when they are in reality as much part of the church body in the field as when they are at home.Sending means Caring, before, during and after a missionary goes to the field. This book is a classic in understanding and putting into practice this principle as we go and make disciples.

A great book for a mission's team in a sending church. This is must reading before your missionary returns home. How can you best meet their needs and understand their thinking if you have never been out of the country? This book will open up your thinking to missions as never before!

"Serving as Senders" is an important book for churches and individuals serious about missions work.
Pirolo outlines for readers the need for senders... those who suppport missionaries here at home. He then gives practical reasons and ways we can help. Chapters include:
* Moral support
* Logistics support
* Financial support
* Prayer support
* Communication support
* Re-entry support
This book can be used as a guide as you look at your church's missions program, or as you evaluate your own skills and gifts.
Missionaries are a long way from home, loved ones, and things which are familiar. They are gone from a church they believe is behind them. Their needs are great, and we have the resources. How do we help them?
When I bought this book at a local church's missions week, I thought I understood what the concept of sending was all about. Now I see it not just as an occasional thing, but a ministry in itself.
I fully recommend this book.

As a missions-minded Christian in a church just forming its missions plan, I highly recommend this book. The chapters dealing with caring for missionaries when they return, either permanently or on furlough, are strategic. This is an area often overlooked in missions strategies.
