1. Cultural Challenges. Whenever a person immerses himself in a new cultural environment there is stress. Often the problem is greater and described as culture shock. Most people adapt to the new culture and even appreciate many of its aspects. But some have greater trouble than others. It is even more difficult if the missionary believes that his home culture is superior to other cultures (ethnocentrism).
2. Separation. Living in a different part of the world separates a missionary from his family, friends, church family, and places of emotional attachment. Ideally, one develops new relationships in the mission field. But that does not fully compensate for the losses.
3. Opposition. Many cultures are not open to the message of the missionaries. In some cases the culture is closed to new ideas. In some other cases there are individuals, groups, or even governments that actively seek to oppose or even punish those who are seeking to be a catalyst for change.
