Who we are

This is a blog focused mostly on missionary kids and their lives, but also on my own life. I have lived in Africa since January 13, 2008. 


Missionary Kids are, by definition, the children of missionary parents ... born and/or raised abroad (that is, on the mission-field). Most Christian MK's come from the United States, Latin America or South Korea, but there are missionaries from and to nearly every country in the world ... which results in an extremely broad group we call 'Third Culture Kids'.


Most Missionary kids cannot relate to any particular culture very well - after spending years living in a foreign country, it's normal to have an interest and comfort in both cultures ... but still find you don't really belong to either one anymore.


This is what makes us unique - across the world, kids and teens raised in foreign countries have built a 'Third Culture' - a new lifestyle that develops as they try and hold on to two separate cultures; there's something about the transition, interest in new countries, and growing up in a world different from your parents that makes all of us bond to each other.


We're a little different, we're a little whacky, but we have a story to tell, and I think that's worth a blog of its own.





 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this; to visit orphans and widows in their trouble and keep oneslf unstained from the world. James 1: 27


He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. John 7: 38


 Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.   Matthew 28: 19 - 20



But You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.   Acts 1: 8
