Part of mobilizing missionaries to the field is helping them adjust when they first arrive. In her latest book, Not in Kansas Anymore, retired missionary Carol Ghattas offers practical wisdom for new global workers as well as those who support them. With many missionaries coming off the field for preventable reasons, this episode will help your mobilization efforts last for the long haul. Here's what the two talked about:
- What motivated you to write this book?
- Why would someone who is feeling called to missions need a book about finding home? Isn’t that a given that they will make their home in their new country or place of service?
- Is this book just for people getting ready to serve, or do you have others in mind as well?
- I see your first section is about knowing yourself and others. I like the concept of addressing expectations, but how does this relate to finding a sense of home in service?
- In your chapters on setting boundaries, why do you think setting limits is hard for some in ministry? How does a lack of boundaries keep them from remaining on the field?
- Obviously, what we knew as “home” changes while we’re away in ministry. What advice can you share about finding home again where home used to be? Why is that important?
