Being thousands of miles away from your friends and family can be a scary thing. It’s very common among overseas workers to be concerned that they will miss out in the lives of their family while away. Catharine Coon worried about that too. She has been a WorldVenture missionary for 20 years, and is now the Director of Hope Alive! in Uganda. This little guy is now part of her family. Watch the video below and see how God has provided for her, and has given her a deeper relationship with her family, greater than she could have ever dreamed.
Jesus said, “...seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.” (Matt. 6:33, NIV)
Wanting to maintain a relationship with your family and friends is a good thing and a noble desire. If God is calling you to ministry in a foreign country, be assured He will give you the desires of your heart—and then some.
