Member Care
Member care is the ongoing investment of resources for the nurture and development of misssion/aid personnel. It focuses on every person who is involved in mission/aid, including children and home office staff. Member care reflects our practical commitment to love truth and peace, and to really love one another.
If there is a topic you would like more information on, or that has not been covered in the website, or if you need help in obtaining some of the resources, please feel free to contact us. We are also available to talk through issues you are facing.
We also recognize that it is not always easy to obtain books or other resources overseas. If you see something you would like but are having difficulty in getting it, please let us know and we will do our best to get the resource to you.

We’d like to invite you to join us at ReBoot, a re-entry retreat sponsored by the Canadian MK Network, designed to help MKs make a smoother transition to life in North America.
At ReBOOT, you’ll find a safe place to share what’s on your heart, build relationships with other Canadian MKs, discuss common challenges, and be equipped to thrive in your transition. We’ll take time to help you and celebrate your past experiences as an MK, through worship, fun activities, and meaningful interaction, and empower you to and transition to Canadian life and culture with understanding and confidence.
Some of the topics we’ll discuss are:
• The MK Identity Puzzle
• Developing Healthy Relationships
• Canada 101
