Webinar With David Field: How To Make You Life Count After A Big Loss
"I appreciated having 'third party' people to debrief that were not from my missions org or supporting church. Thank you very much for your heart to serve missionaries in transition."
- M.M., missionary to the Middle East
"Their ministry to us became weaved into the broader story of God's healing of our family in areas we were unaware of any need. They have a unique calling to fill a scarcely met need of missionaries - emotional and psychological support."

In our ongoing efforts to support and enhance the work of missionaries operating in vulnerable and often unsafe regions, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of protecting their identities. The missionaries who provide testimonies about their experiences and the impact of their work do so under challenging circumstances. These areas frequently face political instability, persecution, and heightened risks due to their humanitarian efforts.
Ensuring anonymity not only safeguards the personal safety of these individuals but also allows them to speak freely about their experiences without fear of retribution or negative consequences. This protection is essential for maintaining the integrity of their mission and for fostering open communication about the challenges and successes they encounter.
