How high are your church's standards for sending a missionary? This week Alex sits down with Mike G., a pastor and former missionary on what it takes to be qualified for the missionary task. They'll explore topics relating to language acquisition, the training pipeline of regular church leaders, and how churches have to be at the forefront of selecting, equipping, and training those who feel called to cross-cultural missions.

Mike G. is a pastor at University Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Mike serves on the leadership team of Global Serve International. He has also served in cross-cultural, unreached people groups in places like Venezuela, Papua New Guinea, and Mexico.
