Supporting Mission Among All Peoples

Global Member Care (Volume 3): Stories and Strategies for Staying the Course is part of ongoing efforts over the past thirty years to shape and support the field of member care in mission. Blending case studies, personal narratives, and strategic insights from forty-four experienced colleagues from around the world, it offers an extensive look at member care approaches in various settings. This volume also highlights the importance of collaboration and cultural sensitivity in supporting vulnerable populations subject to conflicts, corruption, and poverty, particularly in Least-Reached Peoples and Places (LPPs). 

This book is a crucial resource for mission workers, senders, and anyone supporting the spiritual, emotional, and practical needs of mission personnel. Its blend of inspiration and pragmatism, combined with both global and local perspectives, makes it a foundational tool for staying the course amidst the demanding and shifting landscape of mission to all peoples.
