Searchers started learning about sports and fitness. Their Bible Verse was “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Roses for Bulgaria and TCK’s –What do Roses have to do with the European country Bulgaria? In our Mission adventure for the month of January, our children visited the country of Bulgaria and discovered some interesting facts. Flowers are important in Bulgaria. When you go to someone’s home as a guest, you must take flowers. Flowers also are important part of the first day of school. Students bring flowers to their teachers. They gather in the courtyard outside the school with their big bouquet of flowers ready to learn.
Our children learned that being a Third Culture Kid (TCK) is sometimes difficult. People think the most difficult thing for Missionary Kids (MK) to do is to the leave the country where they were born and begin life in a foreign country. However, many MKs who have grown up on the mission field, it is more difficult for them to return home. An MK who is born in one county and grows up in another can show the influences of both countries in the way they speak, think, and act. We call these MKs Third Culture Kids.
