Items May Have Shifted

What happens when missionaries get rerouted?<BR>Many missionary biographies tell the stories of men and women who persevered for decades in a single context. Today, though, God seems to be moving His workforce around the globe with growing frequency. Items May Have Shifted is a collection of stories of missionaries who left everything and moved across the world to serve among the unreached-and then were rerouted, often without much warning or explanation.<BR>Their experiences illustrate an inherent tension missionaries must maintain in our chaotic world: the commitment to go deep in difficult contexts as if it's forever and the openhandedness to accept that plans may change at any time.<BR>You (or missionaries you care about) may be on the move by necessity or by choice. Either way, these stories remind us all that God's people are called to a flexible, responsive faithfulness, tenaciously clinging to the God of the unexpected.
