When someone you love answers God’s call to serve far from home, you are called into a journey of your own.

For Those Who Send is a deeply compassionate Christian prayer companion for parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, churches, and supporters of missionaries living and serving abroad. It gives voice to the emotions that are often difficult to express—the pride and pain of saying goodbye, the worry that comes with distance, the ache of missed birthdays and holidays, the uncertainty of frightening news, and the quiet surrender of trusting God with someone you cannot always reach.

Inside these pages are heartfelt prayers and pastoral reflections for the real moments senders experience: airport departures, unanswered messages, video calls, missionary newsletters, financial sacrifice, dangerous situations, homesickness, ministry struggles, grandchildren growing up overseas, aging parents, home assignments, repeated goodbyes, and the longing to remain close across thousands of miles.

Rather than offering shallow encouragement, this book makes room for both faith and grief. It reminds readers that missing someone does not mean lacking faith, that fear can be brought honestly before God, and that supporting a missionary is more than standing on the sidelines. Prayer, generosity, encouragement, hospitality, patience, and repeated surrender are all meaningful ways of participating in God’s work.

Whether your loved one is preparing to leave, already serving overseas, returning home, or facing a difficult season on the field, For Those Who Send will help you pray when words are hard to find and trust God when the distance feels especially great.

Perfect for personal devotion, missionary families, prayer partners, church care teams, missions committees, and anyone supporting a global worker.

Because those who go need prayer—and those who send need strength too.

Let these prayers remind you that your love, your sacrifice, your tears, and your faithfulness are seen by God.

Those who go are held by Him. Those who send are held by Him. And no distance lies beyond His presence.
