Missionary Care

This is taken from the World Venture website.

How can I help a missionary during time of personal struggle?

* Provide a safe place to debrief and to seek prayer and emotional support.
* Be concerned and pray but don't pry.
* Give the missionary emotional and physical space if needed.
* Offer pastoral and member care when requested.
* Continue to contribute financially or provide for emergencies with one time gifts.
* Written notes of encouragement are appreciated.
* Partner with the sending agency to provide maximum care for the missionary.

We love you and are praying for the peace of the Holy Spirit to comfort you during this difficult time. Remember that God develops real peace within us, not by allowing things to go as we planned but by having us walk through times of chaos and confusion. God has a purpose behind every problem and will use every circumstance to develop our character! Miss you, friend!
