Imagine packing everything up to move \u2013 not just to another house — but to another country.  Imagine moving to a place where you know no one, don\u2019t speak the language, and don\u2019t understand how anything works (where to buy groceries? how to read the labels of the packages on the shelves?). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Culture shock is real. Sent Ones have to learn a new language and adapt to a new culture. Even if there is a team of colleagues on the ground, there\u2019s no way around the mental and emotional adjustments that must be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s another challenge. Loneliness is also real. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

God uses a sense of calling and a love for the lost to get Workers to the Field. Once they arrive, It doesn\u2019t take long until things begin to feel disconnected from family and friends. Surrounded by thousands, perhaps millions of people, feelings of isolation can quickly turn into a spiritual attack.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some things help (texts, FaceTime calls, emails, etc.) but Sent Ones quickly realize they have to find a new normal in their new culture. Many miles and time zones separate them from what they once knew. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aren\u2019t they supposed to be strong? They\u2019ve finally arrived at the place they\u2019ve talked about for months. Often they don’t know how to ask for help from people \u201cback home\u201d in the States.  That\u2019s why we are helping people like you<\/em><\/strong> to establish Sending Teams. Simply put, Sending Teams (Care Teams) find ways to stay in touch. They coordinate the support from home that provides care on the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we may have opportunities to do new things through technology, Sending is not a new thing. For example, in the late 1700s William Carey was sent out as the first missionary from England. His friend, Andrew Fuller, stepped into the role of Sender: directing and maintaining the work at home. Carey had said “I will go down if you will hold the rope.\u201d  Fuller committed that while Carey lived, they would never let go of the rope.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sent Ones (field Workers) need Senders (people like you) to hold the rope. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
