Parents of Missionaries: How to Thrive and Stay Connected When Your Children and Grandchildren Serve Cross-Culturally<\/a>, by Cheryl Savageau and Diane Shortz. InterVarsity Press, 2012 (reprint of Authentic Media edition, 2008). 305 pages.<\/p>\n Find yourself in the sometimes-unwelcome position of sending your kids and grandkids overseas? Just want to help those who are? This is one of few resources we\u2019ve found that are specifically designed to address the challenges and opportunities faced by parents of missionaries.<\/p>\n The book combines a counselor\u2019s professional insight and a parent\u2019s personal journey, plus ideas and stories from dozens of missionaries and POMs\u2014a valuable tool for missions mobilizers and educators as well as parents and families. It may have a greater audience with believers, but much of the content is applicable to those who do not share their children\u2019s faith or priorities as well. Little of it seems out of date.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not sure to what extent their National Network of Parents of Missionaries<\/a> is still active, but the website is still up. Anybody know?<\/p>\n \u00bb Purchase this book from Amazon<\/a> (or elsewhere) at US$9.99 for the Kindle edition and US$11.22 for the paperback, or check out the authors\u2019 Tip Sheets for Parents of Missionaries<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00bb See also a recent article with practical wisdom for parents of missionaries<\/a> (The Gospel Coalition) and a piece we mentioned not long ago about Wycliffe Germany\u2019s annual parents weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Source: Parents of Missionaries Network Parents of Missionaries: How to Thrive and Stay Connected When Your Children and Grandchildren Serve Cross-Culturally, by Cheryl Savageau and Diane Shortz.
