not want me, a feeling that could not be further from the truth! As parents, especially of MKs, we are always learning.

Let me share some principles we gathered along the way: 1 Include your children in discussion about the changes, what and how they will happen. Even the very young have feelings, thoughts and opinions. Let them voice them. 2 Help your children through transitions. Your positive attitude and allowing them to take a special object will give a sense of security. 3 Plan, plan, plan… then be prepared for surprises. Despite the best plans, mission teams and resources luctuate from year to year. Your options one year may not be the same the next.

4 The mission and sending church must be well informed of the schooling options. No matter how urgent an assignment, the needs of the children are just as important. 5 Living across cultures will shape, enrich and confuse your children. Help them understand cultural differences and to respond confidently to comments from family, local people, and other missionaries. A verse for my children was I Peter 3:15, “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.”

If we seek God’s wisdom, plan well, and are present during our children’s challenges, we can have every hope they will grow into well-rounded individuals.

PLEASE PRAY

 for our MKs!

Each one is a gift who enriches our teams, ministries and our SIM family worldwide.

 for SIM’s MKs who are in transitions, for each one to lean on God for help and courage.  for SIM parents to know God’s wisdom in decisions they are facing today.
