I once walked through a large hall at a missions convention, talking with convention goers waiting to hear a speaker. “Do you know any parents of missionaries?” I asked. “We want to invite them to a special event tomorrow.”
Most people looked at me funny. “Parents of missionaries? I don’t think so.”
But then one woman said, “Yes, me!” and her eyes filled with tears.
On this Mother’s Day weekend, I want to tell you about some of the bravest moms I know.
