Hi Kathy, thank you for sharing your reflection on the Diaspora Jews and for your heart for missionary children. As a “second-gen” of missionary parents in UBF, I resented people’s prayers for me and other children in UBF “to become second-generation missionaries” and wished they wouldn’t put that kind of responsibility on me. It felt like I had no choice but to remain and serve the church, when I had many other worldly plans for my life. Now, as an almost-28 year old who only met Christ personally within the last 5 years, I am extremely thankful for my parents’ and ministry’s prayers for me while growing up — because without them, who knows where I would be now. I have personally witnessed how deep and how wide Jesus’ mercy is on me, a sinner — and Jesus did not give up on my soul despite my wrong decisions along the way. I believe that the prayers of my parents and other missionaries are what helped bring me back to my Father and I now accept Jesus’ command to love others and share His gospel.

Just want to mention that if we are paying appropriate attention to secular parts of our life (like job or school), keeping realtions with schoolmates or coworkers, and not deny them, I think, we ourselves could be good in spreading the Gospel.
