Shunem Ministries

Ministering through hospitality, pastoral care, and encouragement to missionaries of various mission agencies is the purpose of
Shunem Ministries.

"For I have given you an example that you should do as I have done for you." John 13:15

The name, Shunem Ministries, comes from the biblical example of hospitality in 2 Kings 4. A woman from Shunem recognized the traveling prophet Elisha as a holy man of God. She and her husband provided a special room where he could lodge. The room, commonly spoken of as "a prophet's chamber," included a bed for rest, a table, a chair, and a lamp. The story depicts Shunem as a place of:
(1) Thoughtful hospitality (2) Special promise .....
(3) Welcome and kindness (4) Hope and restoration.

In this same spirit it is our desire to serve missionaries and their families. We want our guests to have a "welcome home" experience. Our prayer is that they will be encouraged, refreshed, and renewed in spirit, because of God's faithful love to them through this ministry.
