Most missionaries lack adequate funds to meet their need for rest and refreshment. We provide funding to proven programs and facilities that help them maintain the health and strength they need to maintain ministry leadership. GOALS FOR TODAY -
Partner with proven programs and facilities to help fund individual ministry leaders and missionaries, couples and families get the rest and recuperation they need to overcome the stresses faced daily while working in a cross-cultural setting. Missionaries and ministry leaders leave their positions because of burnout from stress and trauma. We help them stay in their positions by giving them opportunities to rest and repair. We are building a portfolio of trusted places that will offer opportunities to not only rest, but talk, walk and pray through areas of stress that need to be relieved. GOALS FOR TOMORROW -
Build and provide a "soft landing" place of our own to come and work through some jet lag, have someone come alongside with a listening heart to pray with them, decompress from some of the issues in their host culture and be walked through some of the changes that may have happened in the first world while they were elsewhere - before they return to their “home” family/church or are able to get into a debriefing program. The big picture is to have a "campground/conference grounds" within 100 miles of LAX as the largest international receiving airport in the area. The goal for this facility would serve as a home base for as long as needed for recovery, until returned to the mission field, or re-established in the US: hosting guests from a few weeks up to a year with regular needs assessments. The target is to offer this service at as low cost as possible or even no cost. YOU CAN GET INVOLVED -
For Today: You can give of your time, talents and/or funds. We are still in the growth and development stages and can use your input. If you have experience in nonprofit board service, business development, social media management, web design, fundraising, etc. we would gladly discuss what you would like to offer. For Tomorrow: Again you can offer time, talents and/or funds and, potentially, goods and equipment needed to develop our own facility. If you have contracting, design, building, facilities management, food service experience, etc. we would like to discuss how you could put some of your expertise into use. We always covet your prayers for wisdom and success in meeting missionaries' and ministry leaders' needs for developing emotional resilience that will keep them working.
