Show Notes
A question we often ask on the podcast is, "Who pastors the pastor?" But an equally important question is, "Who pastors the missionaries?" In way too many cases, those families who are serving on foreign soil have little or no pastoral investment. And for some, the need for the love and care of a pastor is dire.
In this episode of The Minister's Friend, Pastor John interviews his long-time friends, Jon and Tammie Rissmiller, who serve with both Global Outreach International and Pastor2Missionaries, providing direct (and often on site) pastoral care to missionaries around the world. In this first segment of our interview, we introduce you to the Rissmillers and their ministry. In the weeks that follow, our hope is provide you and your congregation with practical and innovative ways that you can better care for the missionary families your church supports.
