Restore His Workers is
a ministry founded to restore missionaries to : God
Them self
Their calling
Their family &friends & supporters
Their church
Their ministry
Their culture
We plan to do this by offering long term ( max 6 months) weekly counseling for free,and a place to stay in a lovely private forest setting if needed.
Over the last 14 years in missions we found many missionaries burned out due to :
fighting the battle alone /many work hours per week / lack of support / loss of vision / not seeing results /no vacations / no privacy / no place to call home / no understanding from their home front / loss of their own culture / sickness / giving in to temptations.
Today, many missionaries have a hard time finding the needed support, prayer -cover, counseling, encouragement, etc in their churches to keep standing AND be effective in the front lines of the battle of souls against the enemy.
Many western churches see spiritual warfare as a 'superstitious' thing or a 'if you don't think about it, it is not going to bother you' kind of thing ...Any missionary will soon find out the battle is 'HOT' and laborers are few; Luke 10:2-12
For this reason we offer counseling to burned out missionaries (and if needed their churches /ministry / home front)
- so they will either be able to return to the mission field and be stronger and more effective than before
- or so they can return to their home town and church without any shame / sence of failure /unresolved personal issues
and be rested enough to have a task in their home church in a different area.
We also offer help to churches to take better care of their missionaries ( whether they return home or continue with missions)
and we network between ministries and churches on behalf of our fellow missionaries.
Missionaries needing counseling and a place to live with us for one month or longer (max 6
For this service we prioritise helping missionaries who have been in the mission field for 5
years or longer. This because we are called to counsel missionaries who are burned out
''because of'' their work for the Lord.
We will however help any missionary in need any way we can at all times.
We pay the mortgage of the land and raise funds to build the cabins ; any missionary staying
with us is asked to cover their own living expenses(food, electricity, travel expenses,damage)
If a missionary cannot cover their own living expences we'll help raise funds together with him/her.
