Providing Practical and Pastoral Support for Christian Missions
One of the primary reasons for discouraged and burnt-out mission partners leaving their place of service for avoidable reasons is lack of adequate support. The aim of Syzygy Missions Support Network is to help improve the support that mission partners receive by forging strategic alliances within the missions sector and providing key services that can prevent a critical failure of support. Syzygy exists to support mission partners. Our mission is to maximise the effectiveness of mission partners and prevent their premature departure from their place of service. We do this by providing strategic leadership to the mission sector, training and debriefing, pastoral support and practical resources.
Working from a Place of Rest is written with those involved in full-time ministry in mind, whether at home or in a cross-cultural context. It looks at the story of Jesus and the Samaritan villagers in John 4, and uses his example as a pattern for sustaining ministry in the frantic world of the twenty first century.
