“WOW! What a week! It has been a very refreshing break form ministry; and a very insightful time for our team, personal relationships, and marriage. I’ve enjoyed it very much!” - staff member in Cofradia

I could not say it better myself. What a privilege to take part in such an important event as the Missionary Care Retreat in Mexico! Thank you to all who enabled me to help facilitate this retreat through your prayers & financial giving.

On a personal note, I am grateful for God’s’ direction in leading me in missionary care. This week confirmed the vision that God placed in my heart as well as my plans to realize this goal (to see these plans, click here). I’ve known & experienced the great need that exists in caring for the emotional, physical, and spiritual health of missionaries. And now I have first-hand experience in offering this care. This is a good fit for me and a valuable career; I am so thankful to have a clear purpose.

Hear what people are saying about the Missionary Care Retreat….

“This was such a valuable experience for me. The topics covered are vital for life and ministry both within the team and outside it. I encourage everyone to do whatever necessary to take full advantage of this team and allow the Lord to minister to each one thought the Missionary Care Team folks.”

“Anyone who’s been on the mission field has probably seen that most missionaries don’t make their own mental health a priority. I am extremely grateful to Tam, Danny, TJ, Tom and the Alternative Missions Board for providing this great week for us.”

“Great to be cared for!”

“This retreat made me feel closer to my team. It helped me see who I am a little better. I feel our team is a closer family. This gave me the rare opportunity to talk to a professional counselor.”

“Although I didn’t know what to expect before the week started I really benefited from taking time out to be heard, identify my own needs and needs of our team.”
