An Mission Partnership Team is a small group of volunteers from one or more churches, gathered by missionaries themselves, who will provided reliable spiritual, emotional and financial support to a missionary or missionary family. The main task of the MPT is to build a Missionary Partnership Network (MPN). International Ministries staff will play a key role in helping to form, coach, and support the MPTs as they build their Network. Missionaries no longer have to single-handedly raise their own support and maintain all their contacts. Now they will have help in building the all-important relationships.
