What is it like to grow up as a missionary kid? How does living between cultures shape faith, identity, and calling?
In this episode, Rodney Ragwan sits down with Emma Witmer and Nicolas Dieselberg, two remarkable missionary kids who recently served as co-emcees at the World Mission Conference. Emma, a senior nursing student at Liberty University who grew up in Chiang Mai, Thailand, and Nicolas, a high school senior from Bangkok, Thailand, share their unique journeys of growing up in families connected to International Ministries.
Together, they reflect on:
– Growing up in missionary families and how those experiences shaped their faith and character
– Navigating life between cultures and finding a sense of belonging
– Their experience serving as co-emcees at the World Mission Conference
– The blessings and challenges of being missionary kids
– What they wish churches understood about missionary families and young adults today
– How missions has influenced their understanding of vocation, calling, and service
– Their hopes for the future of the church and God’s global mission
