  • Breakout Session
  • Faith Hall 356
  • March 23 2018 10:30 AM - 11:30 AM
  • 1 Hour CE

Serving over 15 years in international missions as a vocational missionary, Larry has learned that some of the best missionaries are actually marketplace workers who have been able to work in the marketplace overseas. They often are able to create unique mission opportunities with their creative access to people. They have instant credibility to the people as marketplace professionals, giving them a legitimate reason in being in country. They have financial sustainability in being paid and not having to raise support.

Objectives

1. Describe the unique opportunities and advantages that a medical professional has in participating in marketplace missions.
2. Discuss five important components of a marketplace worker.
