(E.g receiving entity? Local church? Mission org?)

I understand that generally in Singapore context relationships are more transactional but shouldn’t that not be the case for proper member care?

(esp in the sending and training process)

What if the person was not as mature and received the questions negatively?

And if church comes to a conclusion of the candidate not being ready, could the church admit instead that, they could not offer the support needed for the candidate to go out into the mission field as they only can provide financially and prayers which in this example is not enough currently to be out in the mission field?
