What are your church missions quandries? I'd like to find out what things are troubling you or your church in the area of missions. Knowing what to address can help us develop the right tools.

Here's a few we've helped other churches with in the past months:

• realizing that your missions vision is too "shotgun", random, & tame -- getting it God-sized and focused
• short-term missions is either non-existent or too costly, too ineffective, too consuming --- making sure we are good stewards in STM?
• we're supporting missionaries that aren't really like-minded --- what steps do we need to take to honor the Lord?
• maximizing every member's passion and involvement in missions
• just getting an effective missions team/committee going to serve the church well (under the Elders)
• working out the biblical theology of missions in real life ministry
• Help! - someone wants to be a missionary! What do I do now? What details can help me guide them?
• Planning a missions conference for the church
• untangling knotty relationships with one of our missionaries; peace-making with your missionaries across the cultural divide
• finding out how to maximize pastoral visits to the missionaries, or just to do it at all!

These are fairly common issues we help with on a regular basis. What are your quandries?
