The chapel at Council Road Baptist Church in Oklahoma City turned into a science lab on Oct. 5–6. Microscopes, beakers and test tubes weren’t in the room, but this Sending Church Lab drew nearly 40 people representing 12 Oklahoma Baptist churches committed to send and care for international missionaries well.
The Sending Church Lab, facilitated by the International Mission Board, brought pastors, church leaders and missionaries together for two days of discussion, self-assessment and planning centered on one question: What does it mean for a church to truly be a sending church?
