On Persecution in Missions (Ep. 319)

Pastors should prepare missionaries to view life as a pilgrimage with their ultimate goal being beyond this life, fostering courage through theological understanding rather than mere emotional support.

Q: What are pastors most likely to misunderstand about suffering when they think about missions?

Q: What kind of decisions should be made by the congregation versus the elders?
Some decisions are weighty enough that they must be voted on by the whole congregation, while others can be decided by the elders or individual Christians.
