Emergency & supplies list for missionary tours
- Any additional supplies not listed may be included. Please be advised that airline security and safety regulators rigorously enforce weight limits for all luggage, including limits on the quantity and nature (type) of supplies in carry-on luggage.
- Pack your luggage sensibly and within stipulated weight limit. If in doubt, weigh your luggage before leaving for the airport to ensure that you have not violated the weight limit.
- There are no contingency plans in place to assist those who violate the stipulated weight policy. You may have to incur all penalties at your own expense during both the pre (departure) and post (return) trips.
- You may be required to have a vaccination, including but not limited to yellow fever, hepatitis B, tetanus, polio, malaria—along with appropriate malaria tablets where necessary—as a stipulated health requirement prior to travelling.
- Allergic reactions to various medications, foods, outdoor or environmental allergens or a combination of these may occur. Please give early notice of any adverse health conditions to your missionary leader(s) as it relates to the aforementioned health requirements so that the matter can be addressed in as timely and appropriate a manner as circumstances permit.
- Medical insurance and or extra spending money for emergency purposes may be necessary. This does not negate the fact that the missionary’s first line of defense and source of assistance is the Lord God Almighty. For He has promised, "I am with you always even unto the end of the world" (Mat.28:20). Moreover, "17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." (Mk.16:17-18 NIV).
- You may be required to have a visa (non-immigrant type) when travelling to or using "in transit" destinations where such travel requirements are rigorously enforced.
- Notwithstanding the inherent dangers involved in missions, divine wisdom along with adherence to security and health requirements or advisories, particularly in the host country, are taken into consideration prior to travelling to said destination(s) or while in the host country, as it may be necessary, and where possible, to make an emergency exit from the particular missionary area and or host country. See, an attempt on Paul’s life in Acts 23:12-31.
- Remember: 'to obey is better than sacrifice' (1Sam. 15: 22)

TEMPERAMENT TEST
OBJECTIVE:
To help you
identify your basic strengths and weaknesses. To bring more of God’s
"fruit" to your life. To further understand your strengths in order
to maximize your potential. Moreover, to enhance your ability to understand and
communicate with others.
DEFINITIONS
CHARACTER: "The real
you. The hidden man / woman of the heart." It is the sum total of your
training, education, attitudes, beliefs, principles and motivation. It is that
which flows out of the "spirit being."
TEMPERAMENT: The combination of inborn
traits that subconsciously affect human behaviour. It provides
each human being with distinguishing qualities of
uniqueness that makes him / her individually different from his / her fellow
being. It includes both strengths and weaknesses.
PERSONALITY: The outward expression of ourselves. This may or may not be like character, depending on how genuine we are. It is the "face" we show others. A well-developed, godly personality will be the true expression of a solid character combined with a temperament "tempered" with the "fruit of the Holy Spirit" (Galatians 5:22-23).
KEY
POINTS
1) No person is a single temperament.
Usually a person is predominately one temperament. However, there are varying
degrees of temperaments.
2) The idea of presenting the four types
of temperaments is NOT to analyze others. This can be
very demoralizing.
3) This study is designed for self-analysis ONLY, and to help us become more understanding of the natural strengths and weaknesses of others.
THE FOUR BASIC TEMPERAMENTS
THE EXTROVERTS:
1. Sanguine
2. Choleric
THE INTROVERTS:
3. Phlegmatic
4. Melancholic
THE EXTROVERT
Somebody who is sociable, self-confident, and uninhibited when with other people.
THE INTROVERT
Somebody who tends to be more interested in his or her own feelings and thoughts than in other people and the outside world.

Which temperament(s) and spiritual gift(s)/abilities do you possess?
NINE STEPS TO ADJUSTING TO OTHER TEMPERAMENTS
1. Admit to yourself that you are not
perfect [Gal. 3: 3; Phil. 3: 9-12; 2Tim. 3: 16-17].
2. Accept the fact that others have
weaknesses [Rom. 3: 23; Matt. 6: 12-15; 18: 21-22].
3. Concentrate on appreciating the
strengths of others [1Cor. 12; Eph. 4].
4. Pray for each other’s
weaknesses [Rom. 14; 15: 1-8; Jm. 5: 13-16; 19-20; 1Thess. 5:
14-17].
5. Apologize when you are wrong [Acts 22: 1-5; 26: 9-12; 1Tim. 1: 12-17].
6. Verbalize your love [Jn. 13: 34-35; 1Jn. 3: 10; 14; 18-20; 4:
7-8; 16-21].
7. Accept each other’s temperament(s)
and work with it / them. "Esteem others as better than ourselves" [Phil. 2: 3; Gal. 6: 1-3].
8. Expect God to change you and to
change others [Eph. 4: 20-32; Gal. 5: 16-26; Col. 3: 5-17].
9. Be open with God and with others (secrets have a power of their own, which can imprison your mind) [Rom. 2: 16; Heb. 4: 15-16; 1Pet. 5: 7].
CONCLUSION:
In short, man’s basic image of himself is a composite of attitudes that develop in his mind from his earliest days. His parents (caretakers) were his first source of knowledge about himself. The more loving and consistent their attitudes toward him, the more positive and stable his image(s) of himself became. If as a child, however, his physical, psychosocial (soul), and spiritual needs were met only minimally, if at all, the images of himself then, were unstable; fluctuating between self-hate and self-doubt on the one hand, and self-exaltation and self-aggrandizement on the other hand. Additionally, secrets have a power over your life, which can imprison you. The less you have to hide, the more you are free to disclose about yourself.
