1. Sean and Heather's Ministry Roles
During the 2005 combat operations in Iraq, the support staff in the U.S. military outnumbered the combat troops 8 to 1. Troops need strong support to survive and to succeed in their mission. The same is true for God's foot soldiers, the field missionaries. In World Team, we flip those numbers around, with about ten times the number of field missionaries to support staff.
We, Sean and Heather, are still on needed missionary support, but our roles during this season of stateside assignment largely involve supporting our teams of 300 church planters among the unreached in Latin America, Africa, Europe and Asia. As veteran field missionaries, we're able to offer training, care, mentoring and coaching from an insider's perspective.
