Missions Resources for Church Leaders

Your Church Is Essential to Global Missions

We believe only the local church can set apart a worker for the gospel. Only the church can identify giftedness. Only the church can judge a missionary’s calling and qualifications, because they’re mentoring them and watching their lives. And only the church can stir a zeal for missions by showing what God’s word says about his heart for the nations.

So we agree that the church is essential! And we’re here to help with your missions journey. Take a look at our mission-minded resources designed for your church and get to know ABWE and our commitment to the Great Commission.

7,000 people groups haven’t heard of Jesus. That’s over 3 billion people. But if just 10% of US evangelical churches sent one missionary, they could engage every people group. Start the conversation with your church about missions and equip your congregation to send with our SendOne Devotional and Resource Guide.
