Missionary women have high expectations when they respond to God’s call; of themselves,
their mission agencies, host cultures, churches, co-workers, and even of God. These
expectations are often times impossible to fulfill and can lead to mental and physical
exhaustion.
In Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission, Sue provides research
and surveys from the field while Robynn lends her own personal experiences to demonstrate
how burnout can happen and how God can bring life from ashes.
