Being a Mission-Minded Family, with Ann Dunagan

Raising kids with an eternal perspective.

For Christian families in the thick of it, the thought of world mission can seem unrealistic and overwhelming. Many of us feel like we are in survival mode, just taking care of our families and trying to protect our kids from the world. (and that’s all so important!) Yet, in light of the fact that 1/3 of our world has not yet heard the gospel, we know that Jesus’ words in the Great Commission are clear: We are to make disciples of all nations. What do busy families do with that?

Ann Dunagan is with us today to share her story of being a missionary family with seven children! But even more, Ann shares a lot of practical ways we can ALL be “mission-minded” right in the midst of our busy lives at home. I think this is such an important conversation, whether mission work has been on your mind, or not (yet)!

Hopefully Ann’s words (and most certainly her enthusiasm) will inspire you to consider how you might raise kids who love God’s Word and His people, and who are ready to say YES to His call, whatever that might look like!
