Description

As global workers age, so do their parents. What do they do when their parents need more care? How do they decide whether to return to help or stay in their host culture? Dorothy shares how God led her to care for her parents as they grew older, as well as insights and resources that have helped her. Though the journey of caregiving is not easy and not the same for all of us, God directs our steps and leads each of us to serve Him and our parents for His glory. Learn how you can pray and support cross-cultural workers who love God, love their ministry and love their parents.
