MRC exists because we believe that
many missionaries return from the field tired and discouraged,
needing a helping-hand and a listening-ear.

How do we give a listening ear?
Often it’s as simple as having a meal together to listen and praying with them. Missionaries seldom have the opportunity to tell their whole story to someone who can listen well and empathize and pray with them. But we are convinced that many missionaries need more than just a few minutes of listening and praying together. What they really need is spiritual refreshment. They need some extra time to process and think through all that has happened during the past several years on the field. Sometimes they need confirmation concerning returning to the field or what the future holds. And this can all happen at what we refer to as a Debrief Retreat.
