Across the world, Avant missionaries share Christ’s love with people who have never heard. They leave their families, friends, homes, and everything that is familiar, to present the message of Jesus Christ in unfamiliar and spiritually dark places. After many years of service in other parts of the world, they return to North America and find a culture that is so different from when they departed. They often feel lonely, ignored, and unappreciated.

To provide encouragement to our missionaries, Avant mobilizes a missionary care team. The team makes face-to-face visits with active and retired missionaries. This project is designed primarily to serve our retired missionaries; however, the funds may also be used to visit and encourage our active members.

During these personal visits, our member care team will take missionaries out for a nice dinner and give them time to tell their story. They are presented with a gift to honor their time of service. These visits are a special time of connection encouragement.

Your financial investment provides travel funds for the member care team to visit missionaries at home and abroad. Funds will also be used for the special dinners, as well as gift bag items. Your gift will bring a smile to a weary face, refreshment to hearts and a renewed spirit for continued service.
