After the mountain-top euphoria of commitment to becoming a missionary candidate, the candidate needs a road map to help navigate the unfamiliar path ahead. The mentor helps you, the candidate, take stock of your special calling and position. There are a lot of new commitments that go along with becoming a missionary. Then, there is the careful and wise communication of your new commitment to those around you. Becoming a missionary is not something you do on your own. Leaders, friends, and partners are necessary to affirm and sustain your ministry as you move from HERE to THERE. May God encourage and enable you to become well-prepared for His glory to the nations.
