Conflicts inevitably occur in human relationships.
Part of being an effective member of any team is developing skills in healthy conflict resolution. However, it is possible that conflicts can escalate to the point that they begin to have significant negative effects on our relationships together and on the work of the mission. Conflicts can occur on the field between individual missionaries, groups of missionaries, missionaries and field leadership, or between missionaries and the national church. Such conflicts may be due to personality clashes, disagreement over philosophy or procedure in ministry, or other interpersonal issues. These conflicts need to be addressed promptly and resolved to maintain unity in the ministry.
