89: Caring for Missionaries at Christmastime (Advent Episode with Tim Hood)

Whether you’re spending time in person with a missionary this Christmas or are looking for ways to care from afar, Tim Hood shares practical, creative suggestions for this holiday season.

• ”For missionaries, home is complicated. They have this deep sense of not knowing where home actually is.”
• Psalm 90:1
• “Knowing your missionaries, understanding their contexts, knowing their likes and dislikes, knowing some of the challenges they face is really the first step of being able to minister effectively, being able to meet them where they are.”
• “What would be a blessing? And then do that.”
• “The holidays are a gift-giving season, but sometimes what is the most important to a missionary [is just] to be remembered.”
• Ephesians 4
• “Praying for missionaries is such a huge deal, and letting them know that is also a huge deal.”
