Crossing Cultures Making Disciples Memoir

The other pandemic

We meet for lunch. Fellowship over Mediterranean food. Simply connecting while all around us the global spread of a virus ensues. Intensifies.

Events cancel. Borders tighten. Universities move to virtual classrooms. Our best-laid plans are disrupted. Interrupted. Changed.

We sit in sunshine and cool air. Sisters conversing about life journeys. Children. The hard and unexpected turns in the path this past year. The joy of following Him.

Crossing Cultures Devotional Making Disciples

Strong roots and movable tents

Packing up our lives every few years. Crossing oceans and borders.  Figuring out friendships and fellowships and schools. 

Navigating the spiritual landscapes that we land in. 

How do we pray for our children in this cross-cultural life? Specifically and strategically?

Along the way I see the need for strong roots and movable tents. Stability and flexibility.
