Today we are doing something special for our Missionary Kids! We want to share a few thoughts of encouragement just for you as well as give you a chance to enter a giveaway! We will send one special Missionary Kid their favorite candy from America. You can be a missionary kid on the foreign field, or in America on deputation or furlough. You just need to still be living with your parents (sorry no Adult Missionary kids allowed 🙂 ). All you need to do is read or have your parents read you this post and enter in the box at the bottom (don’t worry you can use your mom’s email address if you don’t have one). A week from today we will announce the winner and mail YOU the candy of your choice. Make sure you comment with your favorite Candy in the comment section below!
To our MKs,
We just want you to know that you are loved and prayed for! As your moms we see you everyday, we are aware of your struggles and the wonderful privileges and opportunities you are blessed with. We know as children of a missionary, Satan would love to defeat your family’s ministry by attacking you. But we also know that we are on the Lord’s side and that victory belongs to God. God has given you some wonderful advice and encouragement in His Word.
- When you are afraid – Remember to trust in God – Ps 56:3
- When you don’t know what to do – Remember to listen to your parents – Prov 1:8-9
- When you feel unimportant – Remember Jesus values children – Mark 9:36-37
- When you feel left out – Remember nothing can separate you from God’s love – Romans 8:38-39
- When you feel weak and tempted- Remember you can put on the Armor of God – Eph 6:10-18
- When you feel different – Remember God created you and is molding you. – Isa 64:8
“No greater place to be than the perfect will of God! Romans 12:1-2”Pastor Wayne Cofield – Pastor of Whitfield Baptist church and Granddad to MKs
“Our children loved the mission field. It was an adventurous journey for them. They were able to travel and see things most children can only read about. They went to public schools in Scotland. Made lots of friends. My kids had a very rounded education because they were MKs.”
Sandy Roberts – Missionary with Vision Baptist Missions, Grandmother to MKs and former missionary mom
“I had to realize that God was with me wherever I went “
“You need to realize that we are called to love people. All people. Including Americans.”– Charity Rishel – Missionary wife to Burkina Faso, Former MK and soon to be Mom of a little MK
“I think it’s important to develop your own personal walk with the Lord. Fall in love with Jesus first and everything else will take it’s proper place in life. Learn the language well, make lots of friends and enjoy the part of the world you are in! You never know where the Lord will take you next! Proverbs 3:5-6.”
Deanna Staley – Pastor’s wife and former Mom of MKs
