Items May Have Shifted: When Missionaries Get Rerouted<\/em>, by Maxine McDonald. Pioneers, 2023. 146 pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the most popular missionary biographies paint a picture of heroic figures, often in primitive settings, who stay for many years and become beloved by the people. But things are different now. Pioneers found that half of its field workers who had served for ten years or more had lived in more than one country. Often they saw themselves as \u201clifers\u201d with a one-way ticket to the first place on their hearts, but issues with visas, civil unrest, health, or family needs took them somewhere they never expected. So, how do they navigate that? What\u2019s it like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hear four American missionary couples and a single woman, all serving with Pioneers, tell their stories in Items May Have Shifted<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
