In Acts 13 God sent the missionaries from the church in Antioch. This practice is again happening and many thousands of missionaries are going forth directly from churches without any missionary agency support. The churches are now engaging in missionary training too, recognising that missionaries cannot just repeat the methods that they have learnt at home, but must learn languages and adapt to the culture they go to.

Two successful missionary-sending churches have kindly offered their manuals to other churches:

Church led by Paul Ng in Singapore - manuals available in English, Vietnamese and Khmer - from a Pentecostal perspective.

Calvary Church, USA - manuals available in English.

Please Contact the IMTN and we will pass on your requests to these churches.
