The characteristics of Morning Light

The characteristics of Morning Light

Morning Light operates as a team

• We basically work as a team.

• The team is responsible for making decisions and formulating policies.

• To maintain the best integrity, we have established a system to monitor one another.

• Doing individual and team evaluation is part of our job.

Morning Light makes decisions as a team

• • Senior missionaries can nominate and elect board members and team leaders.

  • Establish channels and means of communication so that each missionary can directly reflect his/ her opinion to the leaders in the field.

  • Different teams gather once a year to jointly formulate goals and strategies for the ministry.

Morning Light values the role of women

• We believe that family is the primary responsibility of a mother which comes before participation in the ministry.

• Our Mission will provide useful resources to empower and assist women in their ministry and personal growth.

• Our female missionaries have the opportunity to take up leadership in the ministry.

Morning Light cares about every missionary

• The team leader and the field director regularly meet the missionaries to offer help and guidance.

• Staff from the Headquarter regularly visit various mission fields to offer support and encouragement.

• As everyone has unique gifts and talents, we will help the missionaries find a field which can best utilise their gifts and abilities.

• For missionaries living in areas with poor medical facilities, we provide for their costs of returning home for medical treatment.

• When the missionaries identify any instability in the area their field is located, they can take the relevant contingency actions in accordance with a set of established emergency response protocol.

•  When the missionaries or their family members need counselling, we ensure provision of immediate assistance.

Morning Light is God's loyal steward

• Same as other missions, we only take one-tenth of missionary’s income as administrative expenses.

• Each team formulates its own salary and housing allowance system subject to approval of the Board of directors.

• Our missionaries try their best to match the living cost of the local people.

• The salary of a missionary is not determined by his academic qualifications and job posiotion, but by the number of members in his family and the living standards of the mission field.

• The office staff would raise funds for their own salary to reduce the administrative costs.
