Backstory:

Launched in October 2022, the “Modern Day Missionaries” podcast was created to provide Christian missionaries with resources and information curated specifically for them. After hearing of the need for such resources from the 800+ missionaries they serve, “Modern Day Missions” created an area called Missionary Care Resources to help missionaries connect with the resources they need to help them stay on the field and to contribute to their health––spirit, soul, and body. They want to help missionaries be their very best so they can give their very best. By investing in the health of the missionary and helping them to stay strong and serve where God has placed them, they are also investing in the mission of God to continue to reach the world for Christ.
