Dr. Laura Mae Gardner (SIL/Wycliffe) has written extensively on caring for missionaries and cross-cultural workers. Now, she has prepared a member care guidebook that just might set a benchmark for the state of the art.

It’s a kind of manual which defines the vision, the challenge, and a host of practical case studies and tools to help us get started. You can also obtain it in the UK and Europe here…
and in Asia here…

This book communicates clearly while dealing head-on with things affecting the lives of missionaries. Practical experience in expressing member care issues shines through each chapter. As a missionary care advocate I highly recommend this book for mission personnel, mission team leaders, and as a text for any form of member care training. In equipping missionaries, her title expresses our own goals in training, “Healthy, Resilient, and Effective.”
