Vision: Member Care Europe longs to see every missionary thriving (not just surviving) for God’s glory and our neighbor's good.
Mission: Support and resource every missionary’s spiritual, mental, and physical health toward effective Gospel service.
Strategy: Provide opportunities for ongoing connection, encouragement, advocacy, resources, and training.
We would love to meet with you to hear your story, encourage you in the place where you are, and come alongside you in the good and hard work of cross-cultural life and ministry. Please reach out to anyone listed below at any time!
