Many missionaries could echo what this missionary in Bangkok says – "The Lord keeps me alive!"
Close calls, or worse, seem to be common when missionaries are seeking the lost, and so we thank the Lord when we see His protection.
Living with the traffic in Bangkok is the theme today, so here’s a glimpse of what it looks like when it’s going slowly…
Maybe this missionary wishes it had gone a little slower – here are a couple of recent experiences:
Psalm 54:4 ‘God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive!’
You’ll notice that the Brand New Missionary Bloggers page is slowly being updated. But there are lots more to come!
Meanwhile, I thought I’d share two posts from our newer bloggers that reflect some of the struggles of missionary life.
First, a family leaving to return to their field of service (Tanzania) – with a not-quite two year old. Read their reflections in Leaving.
And what about stress on the field? Missionaries aren’t stressed, are they? Don’t they live an exotic, fulfilling life of adventure?
Mmmhhhmmm… well, if that’s what you think, you might be interested in this post from Laura in Thailand. Could it be that a missionary’s stress level is … several times higher than the typical danger level?!
Anybody want to pray for a missionary?
Here’s the post – Stressed-Out Missionary
