In this episode, the IWM Team joins together to tackle an important question: How can Adventist missionaries understand and experience success in their missionary assignments? The presenters review a biblical understanding of what ministry effectiveness and success are, explore the idea of success and how it is measured in different cultures, present a leadership approach to negotiating expectations in a church organization, and underscore the family dimension of a missionary’s true well-being. This presentation is taken from a live event that took place on September 23. The link to the full video recording is in the show notes below.
