July 30, 2016

As we prepare to start our language & culture training in just over a week (Mon, 8 Aug) we covet your prayers. More than just a practical tool to help us get around, we believe this is a critical part of being able to minister effectively in the area God is placing us. I’d say […]

Exploring Missionary Burnout, Pt. 1

May 15, 2016

According to the Webster’s dictionary, burnout is “exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration”.

A Family Affair
