Welcome to Missionary Transitions!

 This has been a strange few months dealing with Covid 19, hasn't it?  We are learning to do things differently and taking extra precautions that we simply did not think about.  I've thought a lot about my missionary friends serving overseas and how you have been impacted by the pandemic.  You were anticipating changes, like speaking a new language and learning new customs,  but this is like nothing you would have expected!

God kept bringing people to mind these past few months.  I started writing letters in my head, then on the computer that are now becoming blogs.  I process my experiences by talking to God about them and writing about them or talking them over with a friend.  If some of my musings resonate with you, please feel free to comment.  I would love to hear from you too.  Let us know how you are coping with this in your country of service.  What helps you most?  If you want to share creative ideas for carrying out ministry, I can post those too (name & location will be kept confidential).

I have never blogged before so this is a learning experience.  Any words of wisdom, helpful hints, etc.? I will try and post once a week, maybe more if I'm processing a lot.  I hope this words will strengthen you on your journey!

    Yes, your musings resonate. It has been positive for me to focus on good things that have come out of this. Although in my personal experience during this time I haven't seen very many positives, I look around and see God at work! More people are coming to know Him, joining on line groups, reaching out in creative ways. We are resilient in the Spirit.

      Thanks for that Susan! It's true we're seeing positives and negatives from the pandemic. Just finished reading about the situation in Quito, Ecuador posted by Pan de Vida. Lots of people out of work, on the streets, without food - the need is overwhelming but God has abundant resources to meet these needs, we just need to do something, right?

                                                                         I like to travel to new places, but I’m not overly fond of delays.   I get frustrated when airlines offer me incentives to take a later flight in exchange for vouchers.   I’m all about the destination!   But God has been teaching me a lot about journeys.   I’m learning to enjoy the journey, especially the unexpected side trips we have to take from time to time.   Those side trips can be frustrating but I’ve learned some valuable lessons from them. I’ve learned to be more flexible in my journey.   We ministered among the Saragu...

  Hi this is Gail Davis with some words to strengthen you on your journey.   As I prayed for many of you, I wondered how you are coping with the challenges brought on by the pandemic.   It has impacted all of us and forced us to imagine creative ways to carry out our work & ministry. I was contacted recently by a former missionary asking for help with transition.   He remembered a session that was done in training, called the transition bridge.   As I looked over the information that I had on the transition bridge, I thought about other missionaries I had trained.   I wondered, “What does it feel like to start across that bridge and not be able to get to the other side?”   How does it look & feel to get stuck at one stage and not be able to move forward?   Some of you know what I am talking about.   Some of you anticipated crossing the transition bridge into the new culture where you could settle in and begin building friendsh...

    I want to focus this week on how to build greater resilience into our journey of faith.   I have noticed that resilient people possess certain characteristics and abilities that enable them to weather difficult experiences and benefit from them.   One of these is having realistic expectations.   Expectations are strong beliefs, that something will happen or something will be the case in the future.   Expectations can be good or bad.   They can guide us in our decisions or help us to develop goals and objectives for ourselves and our ministry.   I became aware of the role of satisfaction in expectations through a Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) group studying Genesis.   Last week one of the ladies in the group shared that when God rested from His work of creation, “He was satisfied”.   I think she meant that God saw what He had created and He felt satisfied and so He was able to rest from His work.   This resonated with me and...
