In this series we are investigating the different components of a successful cross cultural missionary endeavor. In the development of a mission, there are not just missionaries. There are other missional entities, which partner in unison, to allow the mission to thrive. God desires for all of them to work together. The important thing is to recognize these different mechanics and nurture working relationships with them as we live as missionaries.

I propose that the most fruitful path is nurturing solid relationships with 17 missional entities, These relationships are…

  1. … a sending church
  2. … a mission agency
  3. … a receiving church
  4. … a missionary team
  5. … a “person of peace”
  6. … an interim community

7….. a networking community

  1. … a platform community
  2. … “Eyes out” people
  3. …. the Vision Casters.

11….  the support team

12…..  the family

  1. … the extended family
  2. … the secular community
  3. …the Word of God

16 ….Jesus Christ, the living God.

17 ….With One’s Self

 

This paper will define an area of relationship building, the missionary and the interim community. Some of the things learned from the current mission to the Canada will added. There will also be some advice on how to nurture the relationships in these areas. Our own family experience as a house church will be reflected upon.
