Sickness on the Field: How to Endure and Overcome with Joe and Christy Allen


Listen Later

Joe and Christy Allen served for 14 years as missionary leaders in South Asia, and endured many types of sickness as a family (GI, thyroid, endemetriosis, food allergies, chronic lyme, mono, parasites, chronic fatigue, appendicitis, and more!). Their family had to leave the field due their son's combination of an immune deficiency, autoimmune encephalitis, epilepsy, concussions, and parasites. Listen in to hear how God strengthened, provided, and guided this family in both suffering well and getting healing. They share helpful insights such as advocating for yourself, fighting for your kids and their needs, teaching your kids to suffer well, being willing to share your weaknesses, how to deal with dietary restrictions on the field, and rhythms for health.
