A team of 13 from 91吃瓜, including 11 students and two faculty members, recently traveled to a small town outside Budapest, Hungary, to serve at a Family Education Conference hosted by SHARE Education Services. Led by Diana Schmell and Judy Severns, the group supported global worker families by assisting with the children鈥檚 program and engaging with parents throughout the event.
SHARE exists to 鈥渉elp English-speaking families serving in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East meet their children鈥檚 educational needs.鈥� Through this mission, SHARE seeks to serve global workers to enable them to remain where God has called them. Cairn teams have long partnered with SHARE in this mission.
Many of the children at this conference are considered Third Culture Kids. This year鈥檚 Cairn team included four TCK students, who were able to bring personal understanding and insight into the unique experiences of the children they taught and served. Throughout the week, the team demonstrated consistent Christ-centered service, humility, and energy. Evening debriefs revealed deep spiritual growth, seen by one student鈥檚 reflection on the importance of missions: 鈥淚 just don鈥檛 want to waste my life.鈥�
