New Resources Added to Our Site . . .

September 13, 2016

This last month has seen a LOT of new additions to this missionary resource website. We’ve been adding resources left and right and in so many different genres that it’s hard to keep track. So if you haven’t browsed our site recently, now would be a great time to check in again, re-familiarize yourself with what’s available, and take a look at what’s new!


Here are a few of our latest and newest additions . . .


1) A New Member Care Consultant

Cheri McHenry contacted us and let us know about her experience with helping missionaries and cross-cultural workers, especially in the area of transition periods or mental health issues (depression, anxiety, ministry burnout, etc).

We are very happy to welcome her on board as our newest member-care consultant.












2) Pixabay

I just recently became aware of this website and am very excited about it! Pixabay provides FREE high quality images, so if you’re needing photos for slide shows, brochures, deputation resources, websites or blogs, etc., this site is a great find!













3) AnonyMouse

One of the challenges of living as an expat is that you sometimes need to access websites from you home country that are blocked to international users. This problem can easily be resolved by using an Anonymous Proxy Server.

We used (and love) AnonyMouse . . .














If you’ve never used (or even heard of) an anonymous proxy server, you may find the follow article very helpful:


>> How (and why) to Surf the Internet in Secret



4) Language Learning Apps

As I am needing to learn a new language, and also teach it to my children at the same time, I recently looked into the different language learning apps and came across some real gems . . .








































5) “Maximize Your Child’s Bilingual Ability” by Adam Beck

In relation to preparing to teach my kids a new language, I checked out several different books on the subject and found this one to be the best and just had to add it to the list!















6) International Shipping

Under the “Services” category we have added some new options for shipping supplies internationally, including a service we just recently used ourselves called Shipping Worldwide . . .












7) A Microsoft Office Alternative

With all the reports to write, expenses to track, power points to put together, and countless other ministry materials to develop, Microsoft Office is often viewed as an essential tool for missionaries.

Unfortunately it is also extremely expensive, and taking into consideration that many missionaries have a goal of training the nationals and essentially working themselves out of a job, it is important to be able to pass on critical tools which can really cut into the ministry budget when you’re buying multiple licenses for the same program.

LibreOffice is not only a suitable alternative to Microsoft office, but it would be my opinion that it is even a step up and an actual improvement, if you can believe that!

And the best part is – it’s FREE!!



















8) Spiritual Warfare Resources

In looking over the contents of our website it suddenly dawned on us that there was very little on the topic of Spiritual Warfare. Being that this is such an important and critical part of Christian missions, we quickly added a whole new page (or category) to our website in order to fill this huge void.

So check out our brand new category of Spiritual Warfare Resources!


9) Transition Resources

Another new category we’ve added is “Transitions”. Dealing with transition, culture shock, and reverse culture shock, are all a normal part of mission life. This new category on our website lists different resources that can help make these transitions as smooth as possible.

Check out this new category: Transitions


10) Cousin Ministry & Creative Access Resources

If you are working in a “creative access area” or need resources specific to “cousin ministry” we do have some great resources for you, but due to the fact that they are more sensitive materials we list them on a separate, secure site.

For more information, contact: ChristianMissionaryResource@gmail.com



So that’s the run down on what’s new on this site.


Enjoy!

My name is Cheri McHenry and I am a masters level, licensed professional counselor.  I work with individuals on a variety of mental health issues, like anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship difficulties, mood disorders, and trauma. The above list is not conclusive, but just an example of mental health issues I help people with.

I have worked with many individuals who are getting ready for missionary work or returning. I would feel privileged to come along side individuals who are struggling and help their transition to or from missionary work less overwhelming.

Anonymouse . . . An Online Anonymous Proxy Server!

There are a number of advantages to using an anonymous proxy server.

1) For people working internationally it can provide a way to connect to websites that would otherwise be blocked to international browsers.  

2) It can also provide a level of security, making it harder for others to track your location, browser history, or personal information*
