Member Care—A Definition

Member care is a broad term that encompasses all of the support that mission workers need to minister effectively.

1. It is the ongoing investment of resources by sending groups, service organisations, and workers themselves.
2. It strengthens people so that they can effectively serve together in ministry.
3. It helps people to develop resilience, skills, and virtue (character, competence and compassion).
4. It includes every person that is involved in sending and going, such as children, home office staff, and field workers.
5. It occurs before, during, and after a person’s involvement in mission.
