Ministry Initiatives

Ministry Essentials staff live and serve globally, providing essential support to the whole global worker ’til Christ is formed in them!

 

Our Ministry Initiatives focus on three areas: Global Workers, Third Culture Kids, and National Christian Leaders. Our staff serve them as Spiritual Companions, which encompasses many expressions of spiritual and emotional care. Click on the photo of a staff member to learn more about how they provide care using their particular areas of expertise.

Serving in Central Asia for over two years had already taken a toll on our resilience and emotional reserves, and then we found ourselves in the midst of violent attacks and the loss of life on our team. By God’s grace we found MEI and received the care we needed to be able to return to the field and serve out our term. MEI’s care is critical for the longevity of those working in the most difficult places in the world!
