Summary: An article presenting a model of member care that is comprehensive, practical, and potentially applicable in a variety of cultures. Another revision of it is in O'Donnell (Ed.), 2002, Doing Member Care Well, pp. 13-22. A summary of it also appears in Mission Frontiers, 2002, Vol. 24, No. 5, pp. 2-3.
Gems: The member care field is truly maturing. It is developing as an interdisciplinary and international handmaiden to promote the resiliency and effectiveness of mission personnel, from recruitment through retirement..Th importance of mutual care cannot be overstated. Social support and good relationships come out in the research over and over again as being key to adjustment.
