Serving as a Single Missionary

Among our conversations with missionaries on the podcast, being a missionary as a single person has come up multiple times. Today, we focus exclusively on this important topic.  Executive Director for Mobilization, Rodney Pennington, talks with OMF Philippines missionary Andy Smith. As a single missionary himself, Andy's story sheds light on how single missionaries can thrive, especially when aligned with God's plan.  Andy also discusses singleness from a biblical perspective, which single missionaries inspired him in more recent years, and how the church plays a valuable role in supporting single missionaries. Drawing from his extensive experience, Andy shares practical tips on life skills and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. His advice is not only practical but also deeply rooted in his own experiences and extensive research.   -----   Originally started as China Inland Mission and now as OMF, our mission is to share the good news of Jesus Christ in all its fullness with East Asia’s peoples to the glory of God.
