Family and friends back home have been my biggest challenge. While my mind is focused during ministry times, during my down time, I miss them dearly. It truly gives you a bigger appreciation for the long-term personnel and the gift of their time and sacrifice.
Back home, my 13 friends were my core community. It has shown me how important community is! My community back home has given me the vision of helping non-believers overseas find community where they can find a relationship with God.
Pray for students and long-term workers as they live far from family. Pray they find community, wherever they may live.
