Manage episode 411259493 series 2984880
Head to college, get married, land your dream job, have kids, go to church, and live the American Dream. It's the reality most American Christians are living in, and it's where the Ley Family found themselves when they experienced a calling from God asking them to leave it all behind.
On today's episode, Michael and Naomi Ley share their experiences as missionaries and the challenges they faced from letting go of dreams and expectations, difficulties in learning a new language, and the complexities of raising children on the mission field. The two share their journey of transitioning back to the US and the lessons they learned along the way. Despite the hardships, they express the joy and fulfillment of building relationships and the reward of surrendering their lives to God's mission.
We're thankful for the Ley's transparency in this difficult conversation and we're certain it will be an encouragement to everyone! Thanks for listening and sharing this episode with a friend!
