Parenting Third-Culture Kids on the Mission Field With George and Sharon Markey (DSUM #19)

David Snead Ukraine Missions

This one's a little bit hectic, but I think you're going to love it! Today, we have yet another Markey family on the podcast – George, Sharon, and their boys! This interview is all about parenting third-culture children on the missions field, which is something about which both George and Sharon have much experience to share – Sharon obviously is raising their six boys, and George has grown up on the missions field since 1992. We talk about things like family devotions, home- or public-schooling your children in the second culture, language learning, and births in Ukraine.

If you would like to get in touch with them, you can through Sharon's blog here: http://mommyjoys.com

Please do support what they do! George is a huge part of leading Calvary Chapel here in Ukraine, and they are both a wonderful example of a godly couple for all of us here.
