Our Purpose
The Red Sea offers counselling, member care services, and training to Christian cross-cultural workers, past and present. We equip people with the skills to lead resilient lives, and support them to carry out their spiritual calling, joyfully and fruitfully.
We support our members to stay in the field, or return to the field, towards fulfilling the Great Commission (Matt 28:16-20) and the Great Commandment (Matt 22:36-40). We also support those transitioning back home post service, or into retirement, and any clergy working within the Australian community. We exist to worship God and support his children in sharing the good news.
Finding Hope in the Red Sea: the Mission behind Our Name
For cross-cultural workers facing the daunting challenges of their calling, the Red Sea Counselling and Member Care Centre stands as a beacon of support and guidance. Just as the Lord made a way for the Israelites where none seemed possible, we are committed to helping global workers navigate their trials. We believe that even the most overwhelming obstacles can become pathways to freedom, growth and renewal.
Testimonial
Dr Sprau is convinced that…
- by removing or reducing these obstacles to accessing adequate and appropriate mental health care,
- by offering that care in a safe, caring, and understanding environment outside the regular cross-cultural ministry setting,
- and by providing that care through individuals who comprehend the challenges of cross-cultural work,
…the Red Sea brings a tremendous benefit to cross-cultural work overall. This counselling centre enables individuals to serve happier, longer, and more efficiently in the roles that they believe God has called them to fulfil.
