Independently published, 2021. 103 pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Warm, healthy relationships between missionaries and their supporters can be a source of shared joy and encouragement, but too often these partnerships can be unhealthy, superficial, and disappointing (on either or both sides), instead. Wilbanks, a former missionary and now a pastor, explores what both senders and sent ones can do to form deeper, more mutually satisfying relationships, learning from Paul\u2019s \u201cpartnership in the gospel\u201d with the Philippian church. Great book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more or purchase the book<\/a>.
