Joining a new church can be a daunting challenge. As such we often assign senior missionaries to help our new converts with this transition. In the inner city areas of Philadelphia and some other areas our senior missionaries are often required to go the extra mile. This includes providing transportation for things such as taking new converts to doctor's appointments and to church meetings. They also help them with budgeting issues, parenting challenges, employment opportunities, teaching them to read, and many other ways of providing uplift and encouragement in their daily lives.
In all cases our senior missionaries have sacrificed the comforts, security and stability of their prior "home life". For this we are very grateful and appreciative.
