• Askamissionary.com: This is a web site designed in a question and answer format, with a growing number of questions posed and then answered by a missionary for those who are missionaries. This particular page deals with questions for “Singles/Families.”

Crossculturalworkers.com: This website contains 45 “brochures” on topics relevant to cross-cultural workers and four E-books. Cross-cultural workers anywhere in the world can visit this website to read, download, print, copy and distribute the information free of charge to anyone who can use it.

Intermin.org: This is the International and Internet ministries of Mike and Diane Constantine. They have resources for you designed to help you and those you care about build stronger marriages, homes, and lives.

Missionarycare.com: Through New Hope International Ministries, Ron Koteskey and his wife, Bonnie, offer on-field help to independent missionaries, to missionaries whose agencies have no one designated for missionary care, and to missionaries who would prefer talking with someone outside their agencies.

• Missionfinder.org: This web site contains Classified Directories of Christian Mission Opportunities. The purpose of the Mission Finder web site is to provide assistance to committed Christians who want to find a suitable mission agency with which to work. They draw upon years of mission experience, a good data base, and their own network of relationships and contacts. Since then, they have helped —at no cost to them —tens of thousands of people find their place in mission projects, worldwide.

Narramore Christian FoundationThis foundation has helped missionaries for years. Every year at least 5,000 missionaries leave the field unnecessarily because of excessive stress involving personal, family, social, and ministry-related problems. Those remaining on the field face life stressors at least 2-3 times those experienced by individuals at home in the United States. The Narramore Christian Foundation is committed to serving these dedicated men and women, and their families. In addition to their headquarters staff in the United States, NCF teams with ten outstanding Christian Associate Staff Psychologists and Psychiatrists who minister in various regions of the world including Kenya, West Africa, France, Thailand, Hong Kong, and Africa.

Peterswife.com: The web site ministry of Peter’s Wife is a great place for women working outside their home culture to connect, encourage and help one another. Browse their site and choose the ways that best fit your situation and needs. The newsletter is the core of their service. For ten years Peter’s Wife was mailed until printing and postage made it too costly. The Internet breathed new life into their vision and in May, 2000, Peter’s Wife began again as an email newsletter. You can sign up for them on their web site.

2equal1.com: This web site uses the most effective venues for ministry —the living rooms of the world. With an incredible worldwide network of leaders, you can tap into our powerful in-home courses anywhere from Argentina to Zimbabwe. It ministers to families around the world in 90 countries and 30 languages. The reason we wanted you to know of this web site is because they have a section titled “Advice Articles” which you can use to minister to others but also, and especially for your own marriage.

RESOURCES:
