Bob Rassmsson of the International Messengers' Ministries announced a range of training camps opened to the 'troops' on the mission field. "We provide a four-month intensive training program and it's been very effective in preparing people for at least one year of service. In many cases, people decide to stay for two or three years, or even long-term. So, we're excited about what God is doing, raising up people of all ages." Rassmusson says the greatest problems in the mission field is not visionary, but practicality. "These days, one of the primary obstacles is just the fear of traveling overseas. I think another issue is often finances. People think, 'Well, I don't have the extra money to travel and do this'."
