The phases below were developed to cover the entire journey of the workers of the Amid World Mission, from candidacy to retirement. The process starts soon
as the candidate approaches the recruitment team. Once the profile is established of the person or family, the Pastoral Care team will provide information on both the self-awareness and self-development of candidates. Now as a team members, all workers will have their respective mentors (see mentorship program) to ensure that each worker stays healthy throughout
the performance of his ministry.

FIRST LEVEL – Pastoral care before placement

I – know the background and personal traits of the candidate through evaluations and interviews, aiming at establishing the person’s profile.

1) DISC (get to know the candidate’s characteristics better)

2) Inventory (family, character, personality) based on Acts 14:27; 1 Corinthians 9.19-23; 25-27; 10.23-33; 2 Timothy 2.2; Titus 1.8, etc.

3) Establish the profile based on the information collected (at the end of this step, a return must be provided for the candidate)

4) Explain the mentoring program

II – Working with the worker – focusing on his tendencies – aiming at his personal growth before sending or placement in the team

1) Mentoring

2) Training

3) Developing a balanced living plan (see the ten areas of care)

SECOND LEVEL – Pastoral Care During Ministry

I – Continuous care. THE MENTORING PROGRAM (see documents
about the mentoring program, the mentoring report form, worksheets
from Excel, slides) will be the main instrument for providing the pastoral care
during the ministerial journey of each worker.

1) Quarterly report
The. Focus on the ten areas of a balanced life (we are preparing a
curriculum with training, specialists, and materials for the development of the ten areas)
     B. Working alongside mentors
     C. Provide care according to the level required of each worker (see
          care level colors)

2) Online Meetings

3) Local/regional meetings, conferences, retreats, etc.

4) Resources, experts, etc.

II – Contingency plan when necessary (work with the area of
safety)

1) Personal or family issues (adaptation, persecution, evacuation,
legal issues, death) that require a premature termination of the Ministry

     A. No one wants to interrupt their “run,” but the Care team
Pastoral must be prepared to intervene in a variety of situations (in
Acts 13:13 John Mark left the team, but he was restored and completed the
call given by the Lord according to 2 Timothy 4.11).2) Debriefing (see material on debriefing) and/or specialist care

THIRD LEVEL – Pastoral care after the period of work

I – The “landing” process will be different from worker to worker

1) Workers serving in the home country
The. Low level of changes and adaptations

2) Workers serving abroad (see “first-period” document)

     A. High level of changes and adaptations

      i. Preparing each family member for the transition

      ii. Prepare the local church to receive the worker

      iii. Preparing the sending church to help the family with readaptation
