#47 Confessions of a Missionary Wife -Surviving Furlough with Children

January 30, 2015

Let's get one thing straight, if you're a missionary and you have kids, then furlough is anything but a vacation!

On this episode of "Now Is the Time" I talk to one of the best missionary wives every (in my opinion!) Christina tells you what it's really like to haul five kids half way around the world and then for nearly a year travel all over the country with them all while trying to home school!

I think we've finally recovered from our last furlough so I asked Christina to talk about her experience in the States a little bit. We spent 10 month, from October 2013 until August 2014 in the US visiting our supporting church and doing a lot of traveling.

Christina not only shares her struggles in this episode but she also shares some of her tips and tricks for how to get through furlough with kids. So if you're a missionary with kids or you support a missionary with kids then don't miss what Christina says here!
News
The news coming out of Eastern Ukraine is not good. More Russian troops seem to be pouring through the border and the Ukrainian army is loosing ground.

Please pray for the city of Debaltseve and for the many who have not been able to evacuate in the midst of heavy fighting.
