What is Member care?
Member Care is the ongoing preparation, equipping and empowering of missionaries for effective and sustainable life, ministry and work.
Member Care addresses all aspects of well-being of missionaries and their dependents. It includes spiritual, emotional, relational, physical and economic matters. Member care addresses the needs of single people, couples, families and children. It seeks to empower missionaries to make healthy choices by offering ongoing training, resourcing and equipping in all these areas. It is integral to all aspects of mission including leadership, logistics, spiritual formation, and church life. It begins with selection and continues throughout the missionary life cycle to re-entry or retirement and beyond.

If the cost is still too high then we will accept whatever you can prayerfully afford and our Trustees will endeavour, in faith, to make up the difference.
