It is essential that missionaries will be well prepared before they go to the field. The assessment of missionaries forms an important part of the preparation phase. Information about his personality, work style, contribution in a team and his spiritual gifts is gathered by means of different measuring instruments. This, in combination with personal interviews that are focused on spiritual maturity and the person's calling, gives a good indication of where and in which position this person could live and minister effectively.

Input on available training possibilities for missionaries, is also given.

Member Care Southern Africa offers a service to churches and organisations in the assessment of missionaries.
