Missions 101: Part 3 – What is involved in the missionary family moving to the field and adjusting to the new culture and way of life and ministry? Preparation to Leave for the Field They must prepare themselves spiritually for the transition through prayer, counsel, and studying God’s Word. They must prepare financially for the [...]

Pastor Gardner wrote this on his blog, and I thought it contained some very good lessons for marriage people. Genesis 16:5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge [...]

I read this today on the Sonshine Bulletin and thought it was quite humorous. YOU KNOW YOU’RE A MISSIONARY KID WHEN… You can’t answer the question, “Where are you from?” You have a passport, but no driver’s license. You watch National Geographic specials and recognize someone. You have a time zone map next to your [...]

My wife, Teri, wrote the following for her devotions recently, and I wanted to share with you her perspective on sacrificing for the Lord.  I am so thankful for my wife and her submission to God’s will for her life. Romans 12:1, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present [...]

Proverbs 12:4 “The virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones.” In these verses, we are given a contrast between a virtuous woman and the woman that makes ashamed.  The virtuous woman is one who is full of virtue (of goodness, of character, or [...]
