What is M2M?

Mission to Missionaries (M2M) is an international retreat purposed to encourage, empower, and revive global missionaries. It will be an opportunity for churches and Christians everywhere to celebrate missionaries and their calling. All missionaries are invited to attend.

M2M is taking place September 2009 within Gros Morne National Park, NL. The attending missionaries will relax in hotel accomodations and enjoy the best in Newfoundland hospitality. They will also have opportunity to experience the sights, sounds, and activities of this land through various outdoor activities. A missionary-sensitive team from Barnabas International will also be available at M2M. They will accompany the missionaries and gently encourage their emotional and spiritual health.

Missionaries often sacrifice comfort, family, careers, and friends to serve those in other countries. Their work can be demanding and sometimes dangerous. A major objective of M2M is to create a national awareness of missionaries and the commitment they make to others. We also want churches across North America to be reminded of their role in caring for missionaries. It is common for missionaries to experience stress and burnout, and a feeling of abandonment by churches and other supporters can be a great contributing factor.

M2M is being organized by the International Alliance for Missions, Inc.
Based in Newfoundland, this is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting missionaries in their cross-cultural projects.
