The difference between adjustments made by most people and those made by MKs are in terms of frequency, intensity and concurrency.
This adjustment is often complicated by being inhibited in saying, "It hurts." After all, how can you complain when you did it for Jesus?
The parent-to-parent relationship makes the most important contribution...
The child also request a sense of being valued by his parents...
Another key factor in adjustment is a sense of the value of the work...
Coupled with positive attitudes and actions of the parents.(free from complaint and resentment toward nationals, fellow workers and the mission board)
The individual who adjusts best when entering a new culture has the greatest difficulty re-entering his own.
He is uncertain of whom to trust but needs a mentor |
