Can our church speak into the question of where the candidate eventually serves?
Yes. The Alliance is a church-based sending agency. We exist to fulfill the missionary agenda of Alliance churches. Many times today, a local church will have a specific concern for a place or a people. We seek to keep that in mind when making an overseas assignment of a person from that church. If we can enhance the connectedness of a candidate and a home church, we want to do that within reason.
