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 continues his interview with 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 episode, they talk about how to provide care for missionaries who find themselves in crisis on the field.
