Missions and Marriage

  • Breakout Session
  • Faith Hall 356
  • March 29 2019 9:15 AM - 10:15 AM

David and Jenny, together with their three girls (ages 10, 8, 6), have had the privilege of serving as medical missionaries in Nepal for the last five years. They experienced a number of circumstances in their 15-year marriage, both on and off the field, that have grown them individually and as a couple.

Join them for this informal session that recounts some of those situations:
- How calling looked for them individually, then together.
- Conflicts outside marriage (particularly managing family pressures, a team crisis and a natural disaster).
- Conflicts within marriage (particularly how to balance a dual physician workload and home life).
- Raising children on the field (particularly the difficulties of managing one child's special needs).
