Strengthening Men: Faith and Resilience for Missionary Fathers

📖 Introduction

Welcome to this 21-day journey designed especially for men serving as missionaries and fathers abroad. Raising children in a cross-cultural mission field brings unique joys and challenges. This study aims to provide biblical encouragement, wisdom, and practical insight to help you raise your children with faith rooted deeply in God's Word, fostering resilience amidst diverse cultures and circumstances.

Men have a vital role not only as spiritual leaders in their families but also as role models demonstrating Christlike character and steadfastness. This plan recognizes the weight of raising missionary kids who face the complexities of dual identities – living between their home culture and the mission culture. Maintaining their identity in Christ, while adapting to a new environment, requires intentional parenting and spiritual formation.

Across these 21 days, you will explore Scripture passages centered on godly manhood, leadership, faith, perseverance, and fatherhood. Each day includes devotional reflections, powerful Scriptures, and thought-provoking questions designed to encourage you to grow personally and minister confidently to your children and family. You'll find prayers aimed at strengthening your heart and offering strength to your family.

This study invites you to embrace the calling God has given, knowing He equips you fully – cultivating resilience in your children and yourself with a firm foundation built on the unchanging truth of God's Word.

May this time together deepen your understanding of what it means to be a man of God, a faithful missionary, and a loving, godly father raising the next generation in faith.
