Sending Teams of CFC Commended Missionaries

"Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because there is no one to help him. If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break."
- Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (Good News Translation)

“It is truly amazing how such a small group of people can generate so much for good. One couple
alone, or even just one person, can make a huge
difference for those living in another culture who
sometimes feel they are laboring alone. Sender
Group involvement is a critical boost, especially
for those who are fairly new on the field.“
- Gary Garvin, Missionary to Moldova

Sender Teams allow our members who are already individually supporting a commended missionary (through financial and/or prayer support) to join together and coordinate their sending efforts for a greater impact on the individual missionary. Even the best senders fall down on the job. Teams encourage one another, spur one another on, and multiply the efforts of each other.

Why Were Sending Teams Formed?

Sending Teams were formed when Missions leadership realized much was being done by individuals to support our missionaries, but nothing was being coordinated. Missionaries might be encouraged around the holidays and then forgotten through the year. It was the feeling of the team that if we could get some coordination, two things would happen.

1. Missionaries would be encouraged year-round

2. People in the body who were supporting our missionaries would be encouraged and energized by working with a group of people toward the same end.

Every member is encouraged to choose one of the missionaries you support and join their Sending Team. Or maybe you've never chosen a missionary before, this is a great way to get started! It is not too late to join a team.

Below are the various sending teams and their contact information.
