Support Your Missionary

2. Give Financially to their Work
There are many Africans willing to lay their lives down for the kingdom. They have the skills they need for Bible translation, but lack one basic thing. They don't have the funding. The challenge of reaching our continent for Christ is the future of successful missions work in Africa. If you feel God leading you to financially support Bible translators or other supporting workers, please contact us. Together we can make a bigger impact! More...
3. Encourage Them
Missionaries working full-time in challenging areas that are out of their comfort zone can get quite discouraged and lonely. The care and concern of their local church can make all the difference. If they know people love them and are praying for them, it helps the project thrive and succeed! Here are some practical ideas for encouraging your missionary:
| |
Spiritually – Send them tapes of sermons or books that have meant a lot to you.
|
| |
Emotionally – If you have access to a peaceful place of rest and relaxation, offer it to your missionaries as a place they can go refresh themselves.
|
| |
Physically – Help them work out logistics for when they return on visits to your church. Arrange accommodation, set up needed appointments, or provide transportation or a meal.
|
| |
Mentally – Help them stay up-to-date on current events or advances in their profession. Maybe the church could fund their attendance at training events or workshops.
