Missionary Care

Without adequate missionary care, missionaries may face increased risks of several negative outcomes.

Burnout: Without proper support, the intense demands of mission work can lead to burnout, characterized by extreme exhaustion, decreased effectiveness, and sometimes a sense of failure or hopelessness.

Mental Health Issues: The isolation, cultural stress, and often harsh conditions can contribute to mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress disorders if missionaries do not receive adequate care.

Decreased Effectiveness: Lack of support can impair a missionary's ability to perform their duties effectively. They may struggle with personal issues without the resources to manage them, which can hinder their mission work.

Physical Health Problems: Continuous stress and lack of emotional support can also manifest in physical health problems, compounding the challenges faced by the missionary.

Attrition: Without support, missionaries may leave their assignments earlier than planned due to the overwhelming nature of the challenges they face without adequate support.

Missionary care is crucial to address these challenges and support missionaries in their work, ensuring they can continue to serve effectively while maintaining their health and well-being.
