To travel in the ministry has many blessing, but also hardships and dangers. Many Good Practices are not just automatically falling on us, but we all have to learn them and put them into reality
For the Family: When you are a family with children the life at home will be much different, when mammy or dad is out of a trip.
For the Couple. When you are a couple with no children at home it is also different back home when one is traveling. Usually it is I, who are travelling, but now for some time I have been mainly at home. Last Fri-Sat-Sun, Anna was with a Tree of Life team to Mae Sai in the so called Golden Triangle. She came home Sunday night from that Church Conference happy for what God has done among them these 3 days. And now she is in Bangkok for 2 days in EFT meetings.
For the Single. Travelling as a single (I understand) is also many things to learn.
Anna and I are sending text messages between us every morning and evening. Also talking over phone. More and more we can also use Skype. Travel conditions changes, but to grow in the marriage and in the ministry during trips (both on the move and at home) we must find ways to have vibrant and creative relationship also with the local people and with God despite the distance.

- Some can function very well during travels, others can not.
- Some can function very well, left alone at home, others can not.
