The challenges of overseas missionary work are not just difficult for those who are on the field. Struggles and emotional battles can happen to those who are left on the home front, as well! This is the reality that Ann Bowman faced when her adult children (one married with children) moved to foreign countries to provide medical assistance in areas that desperately needed it. Ann is the author of I Never Signed Up For This: One Mother's Journey to Surrender Her Children to Their Calling. She lends valuable insight into what it's like to let go and let God. Ann also discusses the challenges that missionary families experience when their parents or loved ones fail to support them in their difficult endeavors serving the Lord. She says this is one of the biggest issues missionaries face. Supporting them is so important! “Consider God's plan, instead of your plan,” says Ann.TAKEAWAYSTCK refers to ‘third culture kids,' or kids who are born in the country of their parents' passports and then raised in a different countryThere may not be as much stability in a missionary field as in the corporate world, but God's work takes priorityIt's important to go through the grieving process, but also be supportive when family moves away to serve the LordThere is great excitement as well as great hardship in serving overseas and it's important the church supports all people involved
Have you ever felt like God was asking more than you could handle? Ann Bowman knows that feeling — from watching her kids leave for the mission field with her little grandkids to facing the fears of distance, danger, and the unknown. In this conversation, you'll hear how God met her in the middle of her grief, turned fear into trust, and gave her a heart for encouraging missionary families and mothers everywhere. **What You'll Learn in This Episode:** - How to trust God when your loved ones live in dangerous or faraway places. - The unique struggles (and strengths) of Third Culture Kids. - Why missionary families need your encouragement and how you can give it.

The children on missionaries are ofter referred to as TCKs. They don't completely fit in their stateside culture, nor do they fit in their home (overseas) culture. They exist in a third reality that is made up of both cultures combined. That is why we refer to these kids as Third Culture Kids. Ann Bowman has third culture grandkids and has seen the ways that their experiences abroad and on furlough have shaped them to be unique in so many ways. Join us as Ann talks about ways that we all can minister to these very special kiddos.https://www.tcktraining.com/coursesAnn's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLYQ5Z99?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_74V3YDAP3TC17FNT61N3&skipTwisterOG=1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1Ann's Website: https://neversignedup.com
