About Ron and Bonnie Koteskey

Ron and Bonnie taught for 35 years in Christian colleges as well as in public and Christian elementary schools. Bonnie taught elementary school as well as teacher education at the college level, and Ron taught psychology at the undergraduate level in college.
In their retirement, they devoted themselves to ministry, caring for missionaries and cross cultural workers around the globe. During this season of life they developed the resources that you’ll find on this website.
As Ron and Bonnie grew older, travel became more difficult but they continued to encourage and care for missionaries through correspondence, phone and videoconference. In May of 2024, Ron passed away after a multi-years battle with Parkinson’s disease.
Bonnie and the family continue to make the resources on this site available for those who find them helpful.
Websites.
There are two websites, www.missionarycare.com and www.crossculturalworkers.com. Both websites contain brochures and books which people anywhere in the world can visit to read, download, print, copy and distribute the information free of charge to anyone who can use it. www.missionarycare.com freely uses the term “missionary” and is easily found when people search for missionary care. www.crossculturalworkers.com never uses the term “missionary” so that anyone working in a culture where accessing material on missionaries would endanger their ministry can visit freely.
