Transitions & Seasons Of Success – Rob Salvato
Q: What advice would you give to a church planning to send someone out?

The sending church provided three months of salary and insurance; later, as the program evolved, they supported salaries during the transition and encouraged preparing through other employment to integrate with the community.
