The insights she shares will help them better support the parents of workers who are part of their church. In turn, these parents can then provide stronger support for their children on the field with the goal of empowering them to more freely follow God’s call on their lives.” Elizabeth Trotter, Editor-in-Chief for A Life Overseas

I Never Signed Up for This is the honest memoir of one parent of missionaries. Ann thought she supported missions — until her own children chose to live and minister in foreign countries. From the day she waved good-bye at the airport, Ann began a journey of grief and shame. Grief arose when her dreams of life with grandchildren living nearby were crushed. Shame came when she could not rejoice in the life God had chosen for her daughters.

Turning to God with absolute honesty, Ann found tenderness and compassion, not the condemnation she expected. He walked with her through a difficult season of surrender until she learned to become a vital support to her missionary family’s life overseas.
