I often think of my friends across the world that work full-time to spread the Gospel. They have the same struggles and worries that I have: how to raise their kids to be kind, what to fix for dinner, how to make time for their spouse….BUT they live in a country that is not culturally Christian. I would never say that the USA is full of Christians, but it is accepted. I don’t have to worry about being arrested because of my religion. And if I need fellow Christians to encourage me, I can go to a church just down the street and find many.
Whenever I think of them I pray for their safety, their family, and their ministry. But very rarely do I tell them. I wish I was better at encouraging them. But I honestly didn’t know how. I decided to ask several of my friends overseas…
Good post Ann! Very good point regarding the safety and sacrifice from those going abroad to help others.
