Member Care

Caring for missionaries by providing prayer, resources, and a friend to talk to.

what is member care?

Member care is the ongoing investment of resources for the nurture and development of mission/aid personnel. We focus on every person who is involved in mission or aid, including children and home office staff. Member care reflects our commitment to truth, peace, and to love one another.

CHUCK + BOBBIE

We love Jesus and we love people!
We joined YWAM in the Philippines in 1988 and have been with Vancouver since 2008. Our main focuses are leadership development, mobilization, and member care.

NADINE

I have been with YWAM since 1999, and have worked in Australia, Malaysia, Scotland, and Canada. As a trained Life Coach and Spiritual Director, I have the privilege of supporting missionaries in their relationship with God so they can thrive while in missions.

CINDY

I love being a resource to our missionaries to help them be effective and resilient in their ministries. I haven't been called to do what they have, but I can help them fulfil the calling that Jesus has given them through body, soul, and spirit care.

more resources.

We've put together a collection of our favourite resources to help you stay healthy as a missionary and to equip you to help your team. If you have more questions or are looking for more specific topics send us an email from the contact form below!

Debriefing

Travelling back and forth between host country and home country, family issues, cultural differences, trauma, amazing miracles - all of this can leave us with a need to be debriefed.

Learn More

re-entry

When moving to another country culture shock is expected, but when we are returning to our home country we find we experience a kind of "reverse culture shock" when we get home.

Learn More

retreat centres

Who doesn't love a bit of R&R? Sometimes a retreat to a quiet place is needed, to pause, reflect, be refreshed and renewed. It's ok for you to take a break and let others serve you.

Learn More

grief + loss

Christians in ministry are not immune to grief and loss - be it loss of family members, ministry, vision or material things.

Learn More

third-culture kids

Kids growing up overseas have rich experiences, but sometimes struggle with loneliness, fitting in, identity, and self-esteem.
