Understanding the Biblical Foundations of Missionary Partnership

In this episode, we examine the Old Testament and New Testament to discover the model that God created in order to fund his ministry workers. We look at the example of Jesus and the instructions he gave to his disciples on how to be funded during outreach. We also study the many instructions from Paul on what he taught the early church to practice when it came to partnering with missionaries. We tackle the issue of tentmaking and what part that plays in the area of missionary funding. Special guest Brando Bareño from YWAM Cartagena in Colombia tells how he overcame cultural stigmas to become fully funded as a missionary. Other special guests featured are YWAM Austria Directors, Ani and Harald Hoellermann.
