What is Missionary Care?
Its the application of prevention and intervention techniques to help missionaries maintain emotional, mental and spiritual vitality.
Compassion Fatigue…Loneliness…Burnout. The situations that missionaries face, often affect them in ways that are difficult to manage alone. Missionary life is full of paradoxes. It is wonderful and extremely challenging; enjoyable and sorrowful. On top of it all, missionaries are not super-humans. They are ordinary people who come with ordinary problems who have simply obeyed God’s call. All of this adds up to show that missionaries have special circumstances that require specific assistance.
This page is meant to address some of the issues that missionaries face. Currently, I am researching ways to address the needs of missionaries and would like to make my notes and findings available. Check out the resource links on the side of the page for more information regarding missionary care.
