Israel, Gaza, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Afghanistan, Iran, Ukraine, Russia… you’ve heard these countries a lot in the news. What you may not hear are the unique challenges many cross-cultural workers in those countries are facing. Questions abound. Should they pull out? When will it be too late to leave? Should they stay and help their friends? At what cost? Is staying too much for them? For their spouse? For their children? Where do they go next? How can they even begin to deal with their personal struggles when they seem absolutely dwarfed by the mass of needs all around them?

These are just some of the reasons we have a counseling center in this part of the world. When traumas like this happen or the fear and uncertainty take a long-term toll on someone’s mental health, they need an easy-to-access place for care. Nick and our team of counselors work hard to provide life-giving counseling in each of these situations and plenty more.

Through support from people like you, we are able to provide this pastoral and clinical counseling to cross-cultural workers serving in over 100 countries around the world.

Every week, people are finding hope from long-term personal struggles, help coping with the stress from living in challenging environments, and direction in their ministry life. With your support, we are able to see transformation and ultimately, to empower workers to share the good news from a place of emotional and spiritual health.
