Our missionaries

This week is a missionary week. They have come home for some well earned vacation plus partaking in the Europe Conference. It is always a great joy to meet with them, since we share the same vision and passion.

I remember well our years as missionaries in Russia and Kazakhstan. Since we some of the years lived in Siberia, it was very far even to the closest missionaries, three time zones away.
Of course the times we met were then very precious. The friendships that were made during those year, remain today many years later.

I feel the same way about our missionaries today.  They have decided to live for a higher cause, move to faraway lands and foreign cultures, settle there and go through an adaption process in order to connect with the people they came to serve. Since I have gone through this myself and know what it takes, I hold our international workers in the highest respect.

This week we spent time together, share our experiences, challenges and joys. This is actually one of the highlights of the years, to hear about the great things that are happening on the different missions fields and how local workers are raised up to work alongside our missionaries.

During the summer conference we will have a special missions meeting, where missionaries will be able to share them same fantastic stories, we will hear this week.

Welcome! You will enjoy it!
