Nourishing missionaries so they can flourish on the field
Free support for missionaries and others in ministry.
What we do
By Use of Individual Encouragement, Ministry Coaching and Debriefing, Our Prayer is That You Will Flourish.
If you need to talk to someone, please let us know. A conversation doesn’t necessitate a long-term relationship with the staff of Pastors 2 Missionaries. We are willing to help you however you need, even if that is just a one-time, listening ear.
We like to build long-term relationships with missionaries. It does not matter if you are single or married; we are willing to build relationships with you, listen to where you are in life, and encourage you in your walk with the Lord.
Transition is often a difficult endeavor but often inevitable in ministry. We have found that talking it out is often the first steps to healing. We are here to listen, pray with, encourage, and help work through the questions you may have.
Why We Do It
Our sole purpose is for you to flourish. We will do all we can to help you and your family on and off the mission field.

Make Disciples

how we do it
Prayer
It is vital that missionaries know they have a support network of mighty prayer warriors behind them, praying for them, and taking their needs to throne of God.
We want to build relationships with you, listen to where you are in life, and encourage you in your walk with the Lord. We use The COACH Model For Christian Leaders.
Our doors are always open to missionaries during furlough. We desire our home to be a safe, fun, and ever-present time of spiritual, physical, emotional and mental refreshment.
Through Skype, Zoom, Whats App, or some other platform, we desire to communicate through video once a month at minimum.
We desire to visit in-country for 10-21 days. This allows the privilege & joy of serving alongside the missionaries, living with them* and the opportunity to do life with together.
We believe the local church is ultimately responsible for the missionaries they send out to serve. We desire to partner with the local church to develop a tailored training program.
