Kentucky Sent Ones is a weekly focus that provides a connection with and prayer support for missionaries from Kentucky, serving through IMB, NAMB or MSC.

These missionaries have responded obediently to God’s call to go, but they need us to hold the rope. Without consistent reminders, disintegration between churches and missionaries will happen even among the most loving, well-intentioned senders. Lead your church to tighten their grip on the rope for Kentucky Sent missionaries. Multiple resources (slides, social media posts, bulletin inserts and prayer requests) are provided each week to help churches highlight prayer for mission workers in a variety of ministry contexts.
