Text Box: Through Her Eyes

By Marti Smith

A rare and much-needed resource for women in or considering long-term missions

In addition to the difficult adjustments all missionaries face in a new culture, women serving in the Muslim world often have additional challenges: new roles and identities that are quite different from their old lives.

In an effort to support and encourage women entering or already on the mission field, Through Her Eyes shares the personal experiences of two dozen women as they reveal the nuances of their everyday lives as missionaries in a foreign culture. Some are single, many are married and a number of them have children, but all provide a candid look at issues associated with living cross-culturally: dealing with loneliness, learning a new language, helping children adjust to the new culture, maintaining healthy

marriages, and balancing ministry and family roles.                      “After reading Through Her Eyes,

Text Box: Through Her Eyes offers an honest and insightful look at the challenges of being a woman in missions, providing much-needed encouragement from those who have stepped out in faith and found that God can indeed meet all their needs. About the Author Marti Smith has spent ten years as a research coordinator for the ministry of Caleb Project in Littleton, Colorado. She began collecting stories for this book while living and working with a church-planting team in Central Asia. I feel better equipped to encourage my worker friends living in North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and Central Asia. My special friend in North Africa is newer to the field, about ten months now. Our communication has changed since reading your book. As a sender, I feel I have better insight to her life and struggles. A new dimension of honest sharing on her part is happening.
