Travel always involves risk. And the Bible tells us that bringing the gospel to those who have not heard is never a safe thing to do. But we cannot allow fear to keep us from spreading God's love with people around the globe. What we must do is understand the risks and how to minimize them without compromising our mission, and to prepare our team for the challenges that come with following God's call to the mission field.

This 26-page resource will help you evaluate what makes a trip worth risking and help you manage the risks you take.

NOTE: You have permission to make up to 1,000 copies of this resource to be distributed in a church or educational setting.

This Training Pack contains all of the following:

With all do respect, I'm glad Abraham didn't tell God to jump off a bridge when God told him to sacrifice his own child. If the Holy Spirit guides one to do something, do it without worrying About the consequences, including going to witness to drug barons.

Sorry, I'm not sending my child to Mexico City or Bogota, Columbia to do "mission work". Not only would it be complete negligence on my part it would a sin to throw my child (with whom God has so richly blessed me) into these two pits in the name of a 16 year of showing drug barons The Way.
