Episode 5 - MARRIAGE ON THE MISSION FIELD

I was surprised to hear what a young woman I have known since her teen years, and is very special to me, had to say about what her biggest challenge has been so far. At 22 years old, Abigail left America to do mission work in West Africa. So “marriage” is not what was expected to be her biggest challenge. I don’t know about you, but being a single female missionary in Africa seems pretty challenging to me! Granted, marriage is a challenge, too. A refiner of our rougher places. But when I think of missionary life, there are a lot of things that seem harder than marriage. Not for Abigail, though.

From West Africa she was called to East Africa, met a man from the country she was serving, and discovered, in her own words, an “even more challenging” journey than missions. Cross-cultural dating and marriage. Her views reflect a wisdom that challenges western thinking. Abigail’s husband, Jillo, joins us at the end of this episode to share a bit of his perspective. His views on 1) America and 2) marriage in general, are both enlightening. Abigail and Jillo decided they would build their marriage on a foundation that requires laying down both of their cultures for a “kingdom culture.” They believe this is something every couple is challenged to do because whether it is a national cultural, ethnic culture, our family culture...everyone comes together from some type of culture different than the one we marry.

In this episode you will hear:

  • Why we should never say never
  • How every marriage is cross-cultural marriage
  • The beauty of building one culture together
