In this episode we discuss with Ben G the important topic of burnout and healthy rhythms in cross cultural work. Ben recently led some workshops on these topics at our global summit and will share some of the key insights from those sessions. As global cross-cultural workers in general we are quite exposed to many stressors that may lead to being overstressed or burned out. We need to be aware of these stressors and know how to respond to them because as the saying goes prevention is better then cure. 

Also, as the year begins to wind down and we start making plans for 2022 now is a great time to do a self-audit and consider how you will proactively manage your well-being in the new year.

It is often said in the mission world that missions require three things, people, prayer and provision. In Today’s conversation Myles Wilson is going to share from over 40 years of mission experience and training in over 80 countries how we can build a team to get all three.

Myles has been one of the pioneers of ministry partner development (MPD for short) helping gospel workers be fully funded and in healthy relationships with people providing prayer and encouragement, as they work to fulfill God’s calling on their lives.

Myles' wisdom, experience and biblical perspective will encourage all of us who desire to see God be glorified in the nations.
