NAMB
Send North America focuses on mobilizing missionaries and churches. When churches or individuals sign up they are first assessed to identify the types of partnerships or missionary tracks that best fit them. Then NAMB provides any needed equipping and training—including evangelism and leadership development—before the missionary or church enters the mission field. Churches that partner with NAMB have a broad range of participation options, including starting a church themselves or with a group of other churches. All are encouraged to send volunteers and other resources to partner with church planters on the field. Fewer than 4 percent of SBC churches are engaged in church planting as a primary sponsor—accepting responsibility for direct financial support in partnership with other churches. NAMB’s goal is to see an increase to 10 percent.
