What is a Missionary Clearinghouse?

A Missionary Clearinghouse is a home office for missionaries in the US and abroad that is dedicated to handling some of the missionaries’ logistics. This type of missionary clearinghouse does not send missionaries (at least not in the traditional sense0, but instead facilitates sending them.

The idea behind a Missionary Clearinghouse developed after the massive increase in the Christian missions in the 20th century, mainly because of the technological advancements that made traveling and communication much more accessible to more people. This trend of sending missionaries came with a growing understanding of the church’s vital role in missions; the church is not, anymore, a mere spectator but a fundamental player in the equation. Churches have come to realize, through studying missionary work in Acts, that sending missionaries has always been the role of the local church, and they do not have to always depend on Sending agencies.
