On average, missionaries return from the field every couple of years. This "Home Assignment" is usually a time to reconnect with supporters, report on ministry, and regroup for another term. The Home Assignment Fund is designed to cover the extra expense of travel and housing during this time, and a small percentage of the missionary's overall support is set aside each month to account for this. When missionaries return unscheduled, or incur unexpected expenses while home, donations to their Home Assignment Fund can help. You should talk with your missionary and understand their needs before giving to this project.
