Member care approaches must proceed from a solid theological foundation. It is thoroughly Biblical and not a secular idea to be rejected. Member care is first of all rooted in the truth that God is the source of all care. It seeks to “incarnate the relevance of God” in our daily lives. This truth must lead to “action toward each other” and shows how God cares through the community of believers. The biblical command for mutual care provides the second theological pillar for member care. The mutual care of “each other, one another” in the church extends to cross-cultural workers as well. So cross-cultural workers, be they Chinese or otherwise, also have the responsibility to look out for and support each other.
