Travel with me and hear about other places, cutlures, and peoples as I interview missionaries around the globe. God is at work in this world! We can have a part in that work!
Pastor's wife Suzy Crocket joins me to share about their family's time serving in Romania. This part of the world holds vast beauty and intrigue, but it is an area that has a great need for the gospel. Suzy also shares what God is teaching her as a mother to young adult children who are struggling with their faith. I hope this episode will encourage you to pray for them and other missionaries and the real challenges they face while leading their families and serving the Lord.
