This moving article from Parents of Goers is an open letter to parents, siblings, and other loved ones of mission workers and expatriates serving in conflict‑affected areas.

The author gently reminds families that most workers overseas are well‑trained, supported by experienced organizations, and deeply prayerful about their decisions; she also offers two simple, brain‑science‑backed suggestions for how relatives can care for their own anxiety and for their loved ones at the same time.

If you know people whose children or siblings are living in or near conflict, this article is a beautiful way to help them feel seen and encouraged.
