What to Expect as a Prefield Missionary With Ken Lorow

What does it take to go from feeling called to missions to actually reaching the field? And how can you trust God through the challenges of raising support?

In this episode of The Missions Show, hosts Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford welcome Ken Lorow, Director of PreField Ministry at ABWE, who helps prepare and coach new missionaries. Together, they discuss the steps toward missionary service, the biblical foundation for raising support, and why having someone walk alongside you can make all the difference.

Through personal stories of God's faithfulness, including a young boy's gift of two pennies, Ken shares how God uses the support-raising journey to build faith, deepen relationships, and prepare missionaries for long-term ministry. They also offer practical advice for inviting others to partner in missions and explain why prefield ministry is about much more than raising funds.

Whether you're exploring a call to missions or preparing to go, this conversation will encourage you to take the next step in faith.
