"stands in the gap" to facilitate missionaries’ practical needs unmet by the missionary support network.
“We in missions must commit ourselves to more comprehensive, culturally-sensitive approaches to sustain and nurture our personnel over the long-haul. Who will do all this? Caring leaders (church and mission) who make time for their people. Personnel development specialists who are available to support and further train our workers. Finally colleagues and friends - you and me - whose mutual encouragement provide the backbone for effective member care programs.” ~Dr. Kelly O'Donnell ~
