Listen in as Amanda Lyons has a conversation with Kristin and Meranda about how they and their families live as disciples of Jesus in South Asia. What do their lives look like overseas? What keeps them there when things are hard? What passages have helped them as women who are seeking to be a part of what God is doing in the world? How can women at IDC live in this way in their own contexts: as singles who work full time, as those who are training to go overseas, as stay-at-home moms of young kids, or as older ladies whose kids have left home?
