    Ministering to the TCKs in Your Life

    The children of missionaries are ofter referred to as TCKs. They don't completely fit in their stateside culture, nor do they fit in their home (overseas) culture. They exist in a third reality that is made up of both cultures combined. That is why we refer to these kids as Third Culture Kids. Ann Bowman has third culture grandkids and has seen the ways that their experiences abroad and on furlough have shaped them to be unique in so many ways. Join us as Ann talks about ways that we all can minister to these very special kiddos. https://www.tcktraining.com/courses Ann's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLYQ5Z99?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_74V3YDAP3TC17FNT61N3&skipTwisterOG=1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1 Ann's Website: https://neversignedup.com

    I Never Signed Up for This

    I Never Signed Up for This is a brand new book for mothers of missionaries! During this episode, Ann tells us stories about her two daughters who live in parts of the world disrupted by illness, war, and political unrest, and the ways she has learned to cope with her resistance to their vocation and her fear for their safety. She also discusses the importance of ministering to TCKs when they return stateside and ways we, as churches and families can help them debrief and adjust to being kids who straddle two different cultures.  Links to sites mentioned in program: Ann's Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DLYQ5Z99?ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_74V3YDAP3TC17FNT61N3&skipTwisterOG=1&bestFormat=true&newOGT=1 Ann's Website: https://neversignedup.com https://www.alifeoverseas.com/ https://storiessetfree.com/ https://thriveministry.org/ https://www.tcktraining.com/courses
