“When I did make that decision to turn back to Christ, I did want to be all in.”

 

“I had bit of an idea in my mind that in order to do mission you had to sort of be something or have certain type of skill or profession, which I don’t now believe necessarily to be the case.” 

 

“A lot of overseas workers find home assignment quite stressful.”  

 

Things to pray for Cross-Cultural Workers on (possibly Covid-related extended) Home Assignment 

• For the stress of home assignment to not be too great (stress from busyness, oddness, speaking etc) 
• For wisdom of how much to say to a particular group 
• That their specific and individual needs are met in home assignment (whether that be rest, spiritual encouragement, financial support)
• For good connection with supporters and with God
