| Summary: |
A chapter exploring the implications of three major trends in missions on MKs of the future. Also explores the possibilities of extended families as missionaries. |
| Gems: |
Demographers and sociologists support the probability that "career" will mean two to six years for many of tomorrow's missionaries.
When someone in a position of authority tells a child that he or she is so dysfunctional that their whole family had to come home, that child believes it. Add to that the inferred burden of disappointing God who called them to that ministry, and most children conclude that there must be something seriously wrong with them. |
| Outline: |
Globalization of the missions community
Diverse contexts
Length of time overseas
Paradigm changes needed
Extended families as ministering units |
