Missionaries going overseas often end up in places with little communication access. Phone lines haven't gotten there yet, mail is slow, and often the missionaries start out with only a basic knowledge of the language that most local people speak. The first few months are especially tough. It takes time to adapt to being in a new culture and being away from the people they know best. But if they are to proclaim the gospel, teach and share the good news, and equip people in this new culture, then adapt they must. Although financial support is important in allowing the missionary to accomplish his or her task, most will testify to the fact that the prayer support of the people back home is a real source of strength -- one without which many would not have the courage to carry out their work.
