Fostering Your Homeschooled Student’s Heart For World Missions

Yes, that means I’ll spend thirty-five years of my life homeschooling! And during my homeschooling years one of the things I’ve focused on is fostering their heart for world missions.

Since her teenage years she has been mindful of reaching out to international people. She’s had co-workers, from the fast food restaurant she worked, who were from an international work exchange program and made quick friends. When she went to college, 90% of the people she hung out with were internationals. She invited them to our home and church.
