Description
Even when workers are prepared for the hard realities of ministry overseas, it is almost always harder than expected. They juggle many roles, often feel rootless and face multiple unexpected stressors that tempt them to leave rather than stay. In the first part of their book, Grit to Stay Grace to Go, Sue Eenigenburg and Eva Burkholder write about developing grit through the challenges faced in cross-cultural ministry. Join them as they talk about some of those challenges as well as the truths global workers cling to in order to persevere.
