Five days…depending on where you are and what you are doing, five days can fly by or seem to stand still. When spent with Missionary Kids, five days seem to be over way too soon. In January, I had the privilege of ministering to MKs in Pacific Oceania. Our time spent together included Bible lessons, crafts, games, and plenty of fun sprinkled in. This was an awesome opportunity to build relationships and encourage MKs, who are often the ones doing ministry themselves.
Engaging MKs, whether here or abroad, is a rewarding experience. Interacting with MKs allows you to learn about their lives, their likes and dislikes, their dreams and the specific challenges they face. As you spend time loving on MKs, opportunities to minister make themselves available, whether that means praying with them or speaking a timely word. While your investment does mean the world to missionary families, you’ll likely find it is your privilege and blessing to be a part of the lives of these awesome individuals. No matter if you’re with them a long time or a five short days, MKs will make a lasting impression on you. Thank you so much for your role in the MK program. Your support not only ministers to those on the field, but makes it possible for MK alumni like me to continue ministering overseas as well.
