ReMAP II is AN INTERNATIONAL
STUDY ON MISSIONARY RETENTION. It is sequel / follow-up
of ReMAP I study on “missionary attrition” conducted several
years ago (1997) to discover “why missionaries
leave the field?” ReMAP I focused primarily on
personal factors of individual missionaries. ReMAP
II looked at “missionary retention“, that
is: “why missionaries stay?’ or “what
keeps missionaries in active service?” This
study was limited to long-term (expected to serve
for more than 3 years), cross-cultural missionaries
serving within or outside their National borders.
ReMAP II covered missionaries newly sent out in the
years 1981-2000.
ReMAP II: In early 2003 a questionnaire was sent
out to all known evangelical sending agencies in
22 countries around the globe asking for sociological
and statistical data on their missionaries as well
as for a self-assessment of their organizational
practices (measured on a scale 1=very poorly done
to 6=very well done). 598 agencies with some 39200
long-term missionaries participated in the study.
In general, the questionnaire was filled out by a
sending base director. The response rate was 30 – 95%
of the total national evangelical mission force.
The study was participated by the following countries:
Argentina, Malaysia, Australia, Netherlands, Brazil,
New Zealand, Canada, Nigeria, Costa Rica, Germany,
Singapore, Ghana, South Africa, Hong Kong, Sweden,
India, U.S., Korea, U.K., and the PHILIPPINES. For
