Challenges, Dangers and Hazards of Ministry

The context of our missionary endeavors in Africa fits very well into the context described by the Lord in Matthew 10, which contrasts the challenges, dangers and hazards of the missionary enterprise with the blessings, securities and insurances provided by the Lord of the Harvest Himself. Most of our fields are located in the highly resistant Muslim areas of West and Central Africa or the worn torn regions of countries like Liberia and Ivory Coast. Our missionaries have been operating in the face of dangers and in environments and situations fraught with hazards. Therefore, our policies concerning the dangers of being a missionary under the Christian Missionary Foundation, whether on a short-term or career basis, derive from the Lord’s own policies as contained in this chapter of Matthew as well as that of Luke 10.
