I’ve read more of the Worth Keeping book – and been talking about it with my staff.

It takes years for the average missionary to make a firm decision to be a missionary, build a supporting team,  and complete their training to go out. We certainly don’t want to see all that effort lost because they did not have the support they needed to manage cross-cultural stress, or because some difficulty forced a change of assignment location or job.

If we were to lose just 5% of our staff each year from preventable issues, we would be losing about 200 people this year alone! That is not acceptable. Why? It means that for thousands and thousands of people, the Good News of Jesus will again be delayed. For many, another generation will die without hearing God speak to their hearts.
If the Good News is good, we must share it.
