Our ministry aims to help missionaries continue serving with physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial health.\u00a0 Tim began administrating the Ethnos360\u2019s Members\u2019 Benefits Department, in 2007, after returning with his late wife, Teresa, from church-planting on the field of Papua New Guinea.\u00a0 Members\u2019 Benefits includes medical, life, and emergency evacuation insurances.\u00a0 Rhonda, who served with her late husband, Dave Wilkinson, in church planting and then in MK education, also in Papua New Guinea,\u00a0 joined Tim in life and ministry in September 2021.\u00a0 She serves in the Member Care department, helping missionaries with encouragement, peer counseling, and coaching.<\/p>\n
The mission owns and operates its own member-funded Medical Insurance Plan for Ethnos360 members.\u00a0 The purpose of our Medical Plan is to insure that catastrophic medical bills do not become the unexpected personal financial burden for a missionary or for those who financially support them.\u00a0 Though missionaries must raise funding to pay their monthly insurance premiums, the cost is far more reasonable than if they went with a private plan, or if they needed to seek financial help from supporters for 10\u2019s of 1,000\u2019s of dollars for an urgent medical situation or costly procedure.\u00a0 Our required Medical plan enrollment also helps alleviate the risk of missionaries leaving the field of service due to medical indebtedness.\u00a0 The Medical Plan now processes over $5.5 Million worth of medical claims for Ethnos360 missionaries and their dependents annually.<\/p>\n
Tim and his team insure that the Medical Plan continues to remain financially \u201chealthy,\u201d despite the spiraling rise in health care costs each year. Tim\u2019s responsibilities also include participating in consultation meetings, updating the annual Policy booklet, answering missionaries\u2019 many questions, insuring that claims are processed accurately and quickly, updating the enrollment roster each month, and paying various vendors, etc.<\/p>\n
T<\/span>he Member Care ministry exists to be a blessing to Ethnos360 Members, and value them, wherever they<\/span> Reaching tribal people with the Gospel requires a large team of Christians, each working together in the ministry that God has given them. You are part of this team, as together; we are involved in taking the Gospel to tribal people, for the very first time.
