Name an Advocate (agent, helper, big brother/sister) in your church for each missionary from the church. They are to:

• communicate with them,
• report their needs,
• meet them at the airport when they return for furlough,
• see that they are cared for during furlough, etc. ,
• listen to each member of his/her family, to know what their needs and feelings are,
• provide the needed companionship and care.

Do not 'fuss' over missionaries in public; let them relax.

Find in 2 Corinthians 8 evidence of real loving concern on the part of a church for mission workers.

What are your missionaries needs?

• Many are hesitant to tell you about any need except money.
• Anyone that has threatened Satan's territory will suffer attacks from the enemy again oneself, one's spouse, one's children.
• Any of those who work cross-culturally have suffered culture stress and emotional disturbances – it is part of the price every good missionary pays for the privilege of representing Christ.
• Interview each returning missionary in private about how they might be willing to let your people provide help, percepts some "member care" services.
