Do you have a heart for pastoral care?…………………………………

(Missionaries need you.)

MISSIONARIES ARE USUALLY PROVIDERS OF PASTORAL CARE, BUT THEY NEED IT TOO.…………………………………………………..Missionaries are often isolated from the kind of support that Christians in North America have access to. That’s where Pastoral Associate Couples come in. These husband- and-wife teams, often pastors or church leaders, provide pastoral care, encouragement, and spiritual nurture to MTW missionaries—on the field and remotely.

OpportunityPastoral Associate Couples provide: • Teaching and pastoral care to individuals or couples during one annual field visit, often combined with participation in a team retreat. • Ongoing contact and support that continues between

visits using phone, Skype, or email. • A five-year commitment between the pastoral couple, their church, and an MTW team or field.

TrainingMTW provides a two-day training seminar to prepare pastoral couples for their service. Also, ongoing enrichment opportunities are available in the program.

ConfidentialityA relationship of mutual respect is encouraged between missionaries and pastoral couples—all communication is confidential.

FinancialPastoral couples commit to church or personal funding of travel costs for the annual field visit or attendance at the area retreat. MTW furnishes complimentary travel/evacuation insurance.You can help missionaries flourish in their calling. We invite you to invest in this critical ministry.
