“In the early years, it’s easy to keep going; it’s easy to think, Next year will be the year. But when the next year passes without seeing the fruit we hoped for. . .”
At Camp Week, E. Wagoner shared lessons learned—or that certainly have sunk in deeper—since first being sent to southern Mexico in 2015. Experiences that challenged their theology, and testimonies of strengthened faith. Practical pointers crucial for long-term missionaries, and why the easier and quicker is not always better. Keeping the long goal in view. Acknowledging and dealing with overload.
Anyone, especially those in long-term cross-cultural work, will benefit from this candid talk.
