Callings & sendings
Exchange year · mid-stay
The middle of the year abroad is where the postcard fades: homesickness on random Tuesdays, everyone else's exchange looking shinier, and a faith that has no Sunday home. God's word to exiles was startling: don't just survive the foreign city — plant, build, seek its good (Jeremiah 29). This check keeps your heart honest enough to do that.

A flashlight, not a verdict — walk it at your own pace, share it only if you choose.
