Christians in North America are used to everyday conveniences like running water, plentiful food, and open access to the Word of God without fear of persecution - but it’s not like that in many other places in the world. This is a point Grace Fox - a lifelong missionary, successful author, and the mission co-director of International Messengers - makes about the realities of serving on the mission field. She has lived on a boat with her husband for the past seven years, and she knows all about leaving amenities behind and bringing the good news of the Gospel to the farthest reaches of the globe. “It’s so easy to be complacent and to love convenience,” she says. But God did not call us to an easy life - He called us to be ambassadors for Him!
