Link Care (www.linkcare.org) is participating in the Great Commission by strengthening, equipping and counseling those who send and those who go.
The Restoration and Personal Growth Program addresses the unique needs of missionaries, pastors and Christian workers who have encountered difficulties in their fields of service. Our goal is to help Christian workers increase their effectiveness in their personal lives and ministries through restoration and personal growth. Lasting renewal and restored effectiveness come only when the Spirit of God motivates and empowers His servants in all that we do.
