Because of Rose’s relationship with church leaders, like her pastor, she was sent to the nations. Because of her church’s relationship with other churches, her work is being sustained. Because of the IMB’s relationship with this coalition of churches, Rose is connected to an IMB missionary team as a Global Missionary Partner. IMB Photo

Volunteers at the missions conference distribute the workbook for the IMB’s resource, “8 Steps of the Missions Continuum: Building a Bridge from the Church to the Mission Field.” Hal Cunnyngham and Amanda Dimperio Davis spent time with the church teaching them how to better support missionaries they send. Rose is one of them. IMB Photo

IMB missionary Roy Cooper presents at the missions conference hosted by Rose’s church. The conference focused on the IMB’s resource “8 Steps of the Missions Continuum: Building a Bridge from the Church to the Mission Field.” The resource is an interactive consultation that the IMB provides to sending churches and organizations to help them understand what Scripture says about the Great Commission, sending and sustaining their missionaries on the field, and how they can partner with IMB through the GMP initiative. IMB Photo
