A few months ago, a good friend asked me how things were going on a day that was particularly difficult to answer. These were the thoughts he prompted then, shared now on another day of mixed outcomes and feelings (today’s additions are italicized). Yes, we’re all fine, and our colleagues reassure us that our adjustment hiccups are normal.

About Brian
I am a follower of Jesus, blessed with a wife, two children, and a call to serve God wherever He leads. For 12 years, we were missionaries, with me serving as a missionary journalist sharing stories of His work in South Africa and around the world. When we moved back to the USA, Tracy and the kids returned to normal work, and I continued serving remotely in missions. I am now returning to working outside missions, but ministry will always be part of our family's lives in Christ.So, what’s it like being a missionary?

A tremendous blessing
In about 51 hours, I’ll be hugging my brother Ken at the airport in Rochester, New York. Another hour later, we’ll be with Mom and Dad at their house.

Sharing God’s heart
“When you get home tonight, you must tell your wife, ‘I met a man named Michael, and he called me a good man.'”
