Our missionary care team is essential to our proclamation of the gospel around the world, providing vital spiritual and psychological care that helps missionaries flourish in their calling. From the time new missionaries join MTW, they are supported by a combination of both field-based and U.S.-based member care workers.

This team of member care workers offers regular retreats for spiritual refreshment, training in self and one-another care, and helps during life’s many transitions. They also help with ongoing pastoral care, serving alongside volunteer pastoral associate couples in ministry to missionaries. And because missionaries struggle with the same life problems we all have, complicated by the added stress of being in a different culture and often in difficult living situations, professional counselors on the team help when there’s a crisis. The team’s goal is for our missionaries to be fruitful and faithful.
