Missionaries enter a new culture, often in regions that have been shaken by poverty and crises \u2013 and due to their spiritual work they enter the enemy\u2019s field of fire. Without encouragement, friendship, help, counsel and supporting prayers they often fight alone.<\/p>\n<p>Missions history tells us that many of those that we consider missionary heroes today, like Hudson Taylor, Adoniram Judson or David Livingston, had to pay a high price for their ministries, even unto deepest despair and often at the expense of their families.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, of course, then and now, that the God who sends us is our companion, our rock, our provider, our help. And the Holy Spirit cares for us as our comforter, counselor and teacher. But those \u201cone another\u201d-phrases reveal the responsibility of sending churches and organizations towards our missionaries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_2'  class='avia-section av-65kpev-18-757cc0dfc415414562064c9d251c7316 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-9  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2817'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-258sxz-17-05af41669921dfd3442f60fee5dae17c\">\n.flex_column.av-258sxz-17-05af41669921dfd3442f60fee5dae17c{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-258sxz-17-05af41669921dfd3442f60fee5dae17c av_two_third  avia-builder-el-10  el_before_av_one_third  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kbjkai9e-16-12b72f681766b8ef9134d37e4e689131 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>What is the use of \u201cmember care\u201d for missionaries?<\/h2>\n<p>Studies reveal that the premature return of many missionaries could have been prevented by appropriate accompaniment and intervention. Good member care includes, on one hand, care for the personal well-being of the missionary and his family. On the other hand, it supports the missionary in the exercise and development of his ministry. It prepares the missionary for his tasks, supports him in his spiritual, personal and professional advancement with the aim of having a fruitful and sustainable ministry that will bring fruit which outlasts the missionary\u2019s presence at the place of work,<\/p>\n<p>Good Member Care helps us to do good missions work1], says Kelly O\u2019Donnell, whose 5 spheres model the Member Care approach of Globe Mission is based on. O\u2019Donnell is one of the modern pioneers for this topic and I appreciate the scope of his research and their biblically well-grounded realization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style

In order to implement all of this, we need time and power, and we are on our way.<\/p>\n<p>Caring for those that we send to the missionary frontlines is a matter of heart. This was true for Brad and Jan Thurston when they founded Globe Mission and in all the years of their ministry. The same is true for the new leaders and all staff members in the Globe center. Together we are developing basic conditions and structures that meet the needs of a growing number of missionaries. We appreciate your support in prayer a lot.<\/p>\n<p>We are currently connecting the missionaries with one another for communication and mutual encouragement. In addition to this, missionary have immediate access to the Center in Hamminkeln, Germany, from where the local staff keeps the interaction with the \u201cfield staff\u201d lively and up-to-date. This implies regular communication as well as work behind the scenes that cares for administrative security in finances and insurance. We invite missionaries for times of equipping, have a crisis reaction plan (although we hope we will never have to use it) and a collection of information about specialists which our missionaries can contact. Other areas are being developed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-8357y0-12-20c13a86c5a2f0154e41705af605cc2f\">\n.flex_column.av-8357y0-12-20c13a86c5a2f0154e41705af605cc2f{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-8357y0-12-20c13a86c5a2f0154e41705af605cc2f av_one_third  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_two_third  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kcc294m7-11-066cc33167f331421aa579f4527a0813\">\n.avia-image-container.av-kcc294m7-11-066cc33167f331421aa579f4527a0813 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-kcc294m7-11-066cc33167f331421aa579f4527a0813 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-kcc294m7-11-066cc33167f331421aa579f4527a0813 av-styling- avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-24  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-29049 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-29049 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028.jpg\" alt='' title='MemberCare_IMG_3028'  height=\"814\" width=\"1200\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028-1030x699.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028-768x521.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/MemberCare_IMG_3028-705x478.jpg 705w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-65kpev-7-a62e29f9e590ca4c0621753165137b4c\">\n.avia-section.av-65kpev-7-a62e29f9e590ca4c0621753165137b4c{\nbackground-color:#e8e8e8;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_5'  class='avia-section av-65kpev-7-a62e29f9e590ca4c0621753165137b4c main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-25  el_after_av_section  avia-builder-el-last  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2817'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-258sxz-4-9a5b0afd3b09db38eedb01e0b6276ad8\">\n.flex_column.av-258sxz-4-9a5b0afd3b09db38eedb01e0b6276ad8{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:30px 30px 30px 30px;\nbackground-color:#002e5b;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-258sxz-4-9a5b0afd3b09db38eedb01e0b6276ad8 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-26  el_before_av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kbjkai9e-3-2d286ed9880476ec1b9b314fad1a3566\">\n#top .av_textblock_section.av-kbjkai9e-3-2d286ed9880476ec1b9b314fad1a3566 .avia_textblock{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-kbjkai9e-3-2d286ed9880476ec1b9b314fad1a3566 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>We thank all of you who personally or through your church do your part in helping Christ\u2019s ambassadors spread and live the gospel in all the world.
