If you lived in another country for, say, a year or more, and you do get back to your ”home country”, you might run into the situation that your “home country” does not feel like “home” anymore. Maybe not at all. You changed, your “home country” might have changed as well, and that is a thing you need to be aware of, in order to deal with it. But, is that bad…. Or is it a blessing?!

Today we talk about culture shock. What is it, how to deal with it, and what are things to look out for when moving to another country?

Why is it so important that you have your own knowledge of God and God's word in good order BEFORE you go to the mission field, and how do you keep that up to date while you are on the mission field and how could it be, that it seems that this is not a primary topic in some organizations, and how can we improve that? A very fascinating Podcast with Pastor Kent Staton! For more info on this podcast series, see: https://www.emmy.foundation/en/category/podcast-en/

In one of the Missionaries Podcast, we talked about if you are being called as a Christian to tell the gospel to others. The answer to that was very clear, so now the question remains... where does God want me to go as a missionary and what does God want me to do as a Christian to tell the gospel to others.

And that's a critical question and something that you have to figure out, with God, before you do anything in missions. (in whatever form that is) To answer that question, we made a special podcast for you. It's a long answer / podcast this time, but please listen to the very end... it's critical for God's glory, your future and it's worth it. Enjoy, God bless and if you have any questions, please let us know.
