Hospitality for missionaries

credit: Wycliffe Associates God sent a neat blessing our way a couple of weeks ago when we had the privilege of hosting a missionary couple in our home for an overnight. They had served in Indonesia many years, translating the entire New Testament for an indigenous group and actively working in church planting and development. They have been seconded from their home mission to Wycliffe Bible Translators to share the Bible translation vision with Indonesian churches here in America, so are travelling cross-country for several weeks. Our home was just one stop of many in this busy month for them. Which leads me to the point of this post. Did you know that you and your family could be involved in this kind of hospitality ministry? Missionaries who are home on furlough or traveling for ministry purposes are often on a very tight budget. Staying in a home saves motel and restaurant expenses for them, and gives them a chance to build new friendships and share about their work.
