Been there, done that. Thanks for your insight on a critical issue for the future of missions. In our case, our sending church (not our current one, nor a CRC) told us "What a great experience it will be for your kids!". And it was a great experience for them, enriching and life-changing. But, then, 12 years later, returning for a 2 month visit, our church told us: "We don't like the way your kids turned out. We are pulling our support." Go figure. We praise God for a CRC congregation that came to our rescue and loved us back onto the field! It took nearly 2 years, but restored we are. Grace is wonderful!
