| Summary: |
A chapter about developing relationships between missionaries, especially staff at boarding schools, although the principles are generally applicable to missionaries in all situations. Same as in World Report, September/October and November/December, 1996. |
| Gems: |
Those who take time to build rich friendships that encourage one another in ministry, support one anther in adversity, and edify one another in love, have invested in an antidote to burnout and can effectively model Christlikeness to students and the national community.
Few factors have a greater effect on the longevity, effectiveness, and overall job satisfaction of missionaries than the quality of interpersonal relationships among co-workers.
Those of us who think we can make a go of our ministry "on our own" are suffering from the "angel syndrome," behaving as if we don't have the same needs as ordinary mortals because we are serving the Lord.
We need to establish an atmosphere that encourages expression and makes individuals feel that they have been heard, not just listened to. |
