We are excited that you will be spending the next four weeks exploring what it means to be an effective mission team leader by caring for your team and modeling good self care. One of my passions is that our SEND missionaries (including you) would do more than just survive on the missions field but thrive! It’s my hope that this course will help you and your team to become more holistically healthy by addressing your inner life, your relationship with God, and your relationships to and on your team.

Description

This course is designed to equip mission team leaders with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively provide member care in challenging cross-cultural contexts. Recognizing the dual role of leaders as both supervisors and support providers, the course emphasizes the importance of introspection, resilience, and spiritual grounding. Participants will explore what it means to be a “first responder” in their teams, dealing with both major crises and the cumulative stress of daily mission life. Through a combination of biblical principles, practical strategies, and peer support, this course aims to strengthen leaders’ ability to guide their teams with compassion, wisdom, and a deep sense of responsibility.
