THRIVING

Support that makes a difference

We can easily say that our missionary friends are persistent and care about their ministries. But are they thriving? Too often global workers are working hard in their ministry but spending little time to recharge spiritually. How can you and I, as advocates to nurture spiritual growth, extend hope, and inject courage?

In His life on earth, Jesus demonstrated a pattern of work and rest, of ministering and of spending time alone with the Father. As followers of Christ, and coworkers in ministry, missionaries need the same balance of rest and work.

These resources are here to inform and equip you to become engaged with your friends on the mission field. To help them thrive.
