About This Book

The author questions assumptions about personal entitlements among mission workers and examines what rights, if any, may be claimed while serving in cross-cultural fields. Using personal anecdotes, pastoral reflection, and engagement with Scripture, chapters address practical and emotional concerns—standards of living, health safeguards, privacy, management of time and private affairs, romantic relationships, home life, choice of companions, feelings of superiority, and leadership within the mission. The discussion balances realism about hardship with guidance on communal responsibility, humility, and the tension between individual preferences and vocational commitment.
