WHEN GOD CALLS A FAMILY TO GO, EVERYONE GOES
Medical missionaries cross oceans to care for the sick, share the love of Christ, and answer God's call. And their children go too. They leave grandparents, say goodbye to friends, navigate cultures that never fully become home, and grow up carrying both the richness and the loss of life between worlds.
Through personal interviews with missionary parents and adult missionary kids, Rick Allen tells the tender, honest stories behind the calling. These are stories of grief and resilience, sacrifice and joy, broken expectations and unexpected grace. In these pages, you will discover:

• How transitions, loss, and unresolved grief shape a missionary childhood
• The surprising ways God meets families in loneliness and uncertainty
• Practical wisdom for parents preparing to serve cross-culturally
• A compelling picture of God's faithfulness in the middle of imperfect stories

Borrowed Home is an invitation to tell the truth about the cost of following God's call and to see, again and again, that even in borrowed places and in-between seasons, God sees, cares, and faithfully provides.
