Articles
If you are new to themes about Missionary Kids (MKs) and “Third Culture Kids” (TCKs), it is suggested that you start with the poem MK Reflections and then read the “MK Traits” section of the Missionary Kids in Ministry article for a more in-depth introduction.

The Great Story
2007-01This poem summarizes various key missions themes and can be sung as a hymn.
Virtues in the Bible
2003-09This was my first article posted online. I did thorough research to create a (non-exhaustive) list of virtues the Bible tells us to display. For each virtue I tried to find the best verse (or verses).
The article was not written specifically for MKs. However, it does have special relevance for missionary kids, since they become familiar with very diverse value systems and thus are often particularly deliberate in forming their own values.
