Growing up in church, I spent a lot of time learning about Missionary Kids in GA class. I remember our class making cards for them during the holiday season. It is hard for us to think of ourselves as missionaries. We are not in a foreign country.......although Long Island is somewhat foreign than what we are used to. We have given up some things to be here, but not anywhere near what most missionaries give up. We are not risking our lives or putting ourselves in danger like some missionaries do. None the less, we are considered church planting missionaries. That makes Madison and Emma MK's!
Over the past two weeks, Madison has received 12 letters from across the US, from other kids expressing their thanks for her and encouraging her as a MK. Decorated and handmade cards and letters from kids her own age. It has been so neat and so unexpected. NAMB did an article on Madison last month and I guess that is how churches have the information about her. The letters all came from kids who are apart of a missions organization in their church. California, Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina to name a few. Madison......as she put it..........is very popular!
It has been a great encouragement for her and a reminder as to why she is here! She will replying back to each of the girls this month!
Continue to pray for Madison to be light!
