A Blog Written From the MK Perspective
Posted by C. Holland on May 12, 2009Just found a blog site, “The Other Side” of Missions, written by and for missionary kids (MKs). Since entering the mission field as a thirty-something, it was refreshing for me to read such candid writing from teens and children, wise beyond their years, experiencing missions ministry. Entries such as “Me on Display” explain the ups and downs of being a public figure (in Christian circles), and “Who Am I?” eloquently parallels my entry, “The Double Life of The Missionary”. Take a moment and check out their excellent blog.

I absolutely love the fact that my kids are with my wife and I on the mission field. My children boldly assert that they are not future missionaries, they are missionaries now.

Hi David, your children are correct, and the MK blog is helping people like me to understand that everyone in a family is involved in the mission, not just the dad who might be the preacher or leader. Thanks for your comments!
