Missionary Sending Agency

What is a Missionary Sending Agency?
A missionary sending agency serves and supports both the local church and it’s missionaries in the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

We serve the local church and it’s missionaries in a number of different ways. Some examples are as follows:

HBM provides all services to churches and missionaries as a ministry (I.e. at no cost).

Why do we need another Mission Agency?
We need more laborers who will surrender to God’s call to the mission field.

• Over ½ of all people who have ever lived on earth are alive today – over 6 billion people.
• 50-75% of our world today has never heard a clear presentation of the gospel.
• There is less being done today than there was 20 years ago. We are not sending enough missionaries out today to replace those coming home or retiring.

“The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38

Who sends the Missionary?
God the Father sends the missionary

Matthew 9:38 “Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.”

God the Son sends the missionary

John 17:18 “As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.”

God the Holy Spirit sends the missionary

Acts 13:4 “So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost…”

The Local Church sends out the missionary

Acts 13:3 “And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.”

The Mission Agency is simply the “clearing house” – an organization that serves the local church and assists in keeping the missionary on the field winning souls for Christ.

HBM’s VALUE PROPOSITION – Why should a missionary choose to work with HBM?

Our strong desire and commitment to assist in keeping missionaries on their field, focused on the work the Lord has called them to.

Allowing missionaries to use 100% of the support funds they have raised for their work (i.e. HBM will not require a % retainer for our general fund).

HBM’s commitment to invest ourselves in the lives of the missionary family – we will proactively be available to provide support, counsel, guidance, etc. Our heart’s desire is to serve the missionary in any and every way we can!

HBM’s concept of a network of local churches actively working together to assist meeting the needs of missionaries (projects, fund raising, etc.).
