While you are on the field

“(MRN offers) a variety of resources from preparation for going to a mission field, team preparation and planning, and something largely neglected and not understood—readjustment back to USA’s culture upon returning (from a foreign country).  We spent the entire afternoon with (several of their staff) and have received a lot of great advice.”

Conflict Resolution
You or your team may experience occasional conflict with their spouse, teammates, or mission church. Appropriate and timely mediation may help to you restore positive relationships.

Workshops and Counseling
Enrichment workshops help to enhance your marriage, strengthen your family and tune up mission teams. Preventative care of missionaries and their families is wise stewardship.

Crisis Intervention

Terrorism, earthquakes and kidnappings are just some of the crises missionaries may face. In a crisis quality care from a specialist is not a luxury, but a necessity if you are to remain whole and productive.
