Burnout among Missionaries

Burnout among Missionaries

Systemic Issues Leading to Burnout As a care provider, I should have seen it coming—but I did not. My normally energetic, vibrant, and accomplished wife was experiencing multiple life-altering symptoms that did not make sense to us. She went from being a well-spoken, highly capable, and outgoing ministry leader and teacher to being unable to complete full sentences or make simple decisions. She was experiencing bouts of memory loss and mood swings... For more information go to Burnout among...

How Culture Influences The Burnout Experience And Implications For Member Care In 2021 I completed my Masters in Member Care dissertation on the topic, ‘Burnout in Zambian Women in Ministry and Humanitarian Work’. At the time of writing, I had been working as a missionary in Southern Africa, mostly Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Angola, and Zambia for 27 years.

Help! I’m Scared of Younger Leaders

Help! I’m Scared of Younger Leaders

Classic Missiological Paradigms For Generational Partnerships Conflict between generations is as old as the Bible. In it, we see a grasping father-in-law take advantage of his son-in-law (Gen 29-31). We see older generations completely failing to invest in younger ones (Judges 2:10-15). We see a young king listen to the folly of his friends over the wise counsel of the elders (1 Kings 12:1-15). We see adults shooing away children as if the Messiah had no time for them (Matt. 19:13-15). We see...

Lausanne January 2024 Issue Overview

Since humankind decided to become like God and ate of the fruit, it has been plagued with dis-ease. A broken relationship, that between God and humankind, was the first example of disease and suffering the world had ever known. A form of suffering that was in the beginning a spiritual break from a perfect relationship with the Creator of the universe, eventually led to mental and physical suffering. Does the church have a calling to heal and make whole those who are suffering around us all on a...

Self-care: An essential tool for member care or a passing fad?

Member care and self-care are not new concepts. However, marrying the two has been a more recent discussion, which gathered pace during the COVID pandemic. In this article, we will consider what member care and self-care are, some of the resistance to self-care, and how member care can seek to promote better self-care practices amongst missionaries.

Talking to People about Jesus: Workplace Evangelism For the 99 P

Now picture these individuals on your mental desktop and envision yourself in a conversation with each one. Consider what you would say to arouse their curiosity, so they’re likely to listen long enough to learn how God loves them and wants them to experience abundant life on earth and eternity in his...
