| Summary: |
An article based on the authors doctoral research into ACAs as missionaries, an article which corrects some early misconceptions and gives a realistic appraisal. |
| Gems: |
Which brings us back to the one in seven missionaries who are ACA..A second concern with ACA candidates is distorted thinking about God..sometimes become adults who experience great tension between their head theology and their heart theology..Missionaries who have participated in support groups say they are helpful only when the group is composed of other believers who begin and work out of a biblical framework of redemption and hope..My findings suggest that while family-of-origin issues are not disqualifiers for missionary service, they should not be ignored either. |
