    My husband and I have been in marketplace ministry for 30 years and it has been a lonely place sometimes—especially overseas for 20 years. How wonderful to have a collection of testimonies from others living this out! Thank you for sharing from your own lives and curating excellent content about how to walk this calling out with courage, faith, hope and love.
