A comprehensive member care plan supporting spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being.
Cornerstone International outlines a comprehensive member care plan aimed at nurturing an environment that supports the spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being of its mission staff members. Here are the key components of the plan:
Master Care: Emphasizes the foundational role of spiritual well-being through regular personal spiritual practices like Bible study and prayer, organizing spiritual events every five years for refreshment and fellowship, and a regular prayer schedule for missionaries globally.
Self Care: Stresses the importance of a balanced life that integrates work, family, and personal time effectively. This includes practicing Sabbath rest, taking regular vacations, and utilizing member care services to maintain emotional, spiritual, and physical health.
Mutual Care: Focuses on fostering a supportive community among staff members in their service locations. This involves celebrating important events, encouraging life-giving relationships, and maintaining transparency and honesty in interactions.
Organizational Care: Outlines the responsibility of the organization to support its mission staff by ensuring efficient and fulfilling work conditions. This includes having clear job descriptions, roles, responsibilities, and reporting structures.
Overall, the plan underlines the shared responsibility for member care, with a commitment to regular evaluation and adaptation of the strategies to meet the diverse needs of the staff. This dynamic approach ensures that the care strategies remain effective and relevant.
