“Local church sending connects the Great Commission to the entire church family. It reinforces the truth that the entire church is called to be obedient to Christ’s command. We’re either goers or senders – there is no third option. Every time a missionary departs for cross-cultural ministry from our church, we’re reminded that we must be obedient to send well.”

“Shepherd’s Staff has been invaluable as our church has sought to send ministers of the gospel in a manner worthy of God, (3 John). We highly value the partnership and relationship we have with Shepherd’s Staff. May God bless this organization as it helps local churches steward the gifts of their people into all the earth.”
Andy Morris
Global Missions Pastor
“Shepherd’s Staff Mission Facilitators has been an enormous support and overall blessing to me and our entire church. Since 2006, Jeff Jackson and the Shepherd’s Staff team has helped our Missions Team hone our vision, better serve our missionaries, and excite our entire church about our Missionary God and His plan for our church in reaching the lost. I can’t express how highly I recommend any church to engage with SSMFI about sending missionaries to the field.”

“Our church has been blessed by the ministry of Shepherds Staff, who have helped our international church plant to Croatia administratively. We have found their staff to be helpful and eager to do all they can to help us as a sending church along with our church planter and his wife to raise funds effectively, and process their ministry finances in a way that enables them to operate with integrity. This has lightened our load as a sending church and has enabled us to focus on giving spiritual care in Christ to our church planter and his wife, which we are very grateful for! Shepherds staff allows you as a sending church to carry out the equipping and spiritual care of your church plant, while aiding your church planter or missionary in their administrative needs.”

“Shepherd’s Staff Mission Facilitators was very beneficial in giving us new insight into the total care of missionaries on foreign fields. They cover all the essentials from the day a person is called until the time they retire and beyond. Shepherds Staff is of great benefit and blessing to all of those serving as senders.”
Jeff and Bev Hummel, World Outreach Ministry Directors
Fleetwood Bible Church, Fleetwood, PA
“Over the last 15 years Calvary Murrieta has partnered with Shepherd’s Staff in caring for missionaries. Our partnership has resulted in high quality care for our missionaries in the field, as well as educating our church on reaching the unreached. Shepherd’s Staff has been a valuable resource in preparing, maintaining and caring for our missionaries.”
Larry Hansen
Missions Pastor
“After having supported different missionary families for years, our church came across Shepherd’s Staff when we were looking to send out our first missionaries directly from our church. Shepherd’s Staff made it possible for us to send that first family. Since then, they have been a blessing and incredible resource in enabling the gospel to go forth to the ends of the earth. Shepherd’s Staff is an indispensable partner in helping us accomplish our church’s mission of sending missionaries.”

Valley Center Community Church
“Our Global Partners think outside the box and found a sending agency that can help them achieve those outside the box goals in Shepherd Staff. We’ve enjoyed our communication and relationship with Jeff and the rest of the staff.”
Linda Kohn
Global Outreach Dir.
“Shepherd’s Staff is filling a critical gap for so many churches today. They do this not only by providing financial management services to missionaries, but also by equipping local churches to give holistic care to their own missionaries. Our church is blessed and inspired by their biblical fidelity and hands-on approach to help us go into all the world to preach the gospel.”
Keith McWhorter
Preaching Pastor
“Shepherd’s Staff has provided very practical help that has enabled several of our missionaries to raise funds to go or to remain on the field. We have been most impressed with how they have done it: with absolute servants’ hearts and incredible efficiency and thoroughness. You can tell they love the church and they care well for those that are being sent from the church.”
Matt Clark
Pastor of Missionary Care
