Elizabeth and her husband Jonathan were missionaries to Cambodia. They returned to America during Covid lockdown in a sudden and difficult end to their years of ministry. During their time on the field, and since, they have dedicated much time to creating blogs, books, podcasts and more to share their wisdom and reflections, often on taboo subjects. Their book, Serving Well: Help for the Wannabe, Newbie, or Weary Cross-cultural Christian Worker is a valuable resource. Elizabeth serves as the editor for the excellent collective blog, A Life Overseas. In this interview, Elizabeth shares her journey to the field, from third-culture kid to newly married, to reluctant missionary. She shares her insights into homeschooling, writing about raw, personal topics and her experience of the difficult post-field season they went through. Check out their shared blog: trotters41.com.
