Summary: This article reports on the results of a survey of fieldworkers. The research revealed a gap of communication between goers and senders. This can be exacerbated when missionaries feel that they have to be superhuman. Many challenges that missionaries face are normal human experiences although these can be compounded by cross-cultural life and ministry stresses. Practical recommendations for senders are provided.
