Why Do Missionaries Need a Sending Agency?

FAQ #4 - If your home church is sending you, why do you need a missions agency like TEAM?

Our home church, Victory World Church, is in full support of our call to plant churches in Italy. From day one, our missions pastor has been a key advisor in each step of our process. He suggested that we find an agency to partner with the church and help facilitate all the logistics of getting us to the field and keeping us there long-term. This includes:

• Processing monthly financial support
• Guidance with our visa application process
• Pre-field and on-going training
• Providing health insurance, retirement, etc.

Having TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission) partner with Victory to send us to Italy is very beneficial to both the church and us as missionaries. For example, the partnership creates synergy and unity within the broader body of Christ for purposes of fulfilling the Great Commission. It also provides added authority and structure while we are serving in the field.
