Missionary Mommy Wars

A Life Overseas |

790 views

Another great article from A Life Overseas. This one is to encourage missionary moms.

Missionary moms are exposed on all fronts, and they feel it. Everyone’s watching them. The local people watch every move, confused by the foreigner and her progeny; when she returns “home” for a visit, she feels watched just the same. The mom on the foreign mission field is stretched thin.  It’s not fair, and I’m calling it. We need to pause and care for the women among us who are being crushed by unrealistic expectations.
