Missionaries and Churches as Partners in Ministry

Monday, May 22, 2023 | Guest: Jon Crocker |
Topics: Missions

The relationship is key to churches and missionaries partnering effectively in the Great Commission. How can missionaries serve and encourage churches they visit on deputation and furlough? How can churches serve and encourage the missionaries they support? In this podcast, Marshall Fant interviews Jon Crocker, GFA's executive director, about this topic. Before assuming a leadership role in the home office in 2022, Jon Crocker along with his wife, Andrea, and five children, served as missionaries to Mexico City. Having traveled to churches on both deputation and furlough, the Crockers know what it is like to have a network of supporting churches.
