Singleness on the Field by Rae Reid
Rae Reid reflects on the joys and challenges of single missionary service. At 43 and single after nearly 12 years in Southeast Asia with Reaching and Teaching, Reid presents an honest assessment of singleness on the mission field. Marital status should never be an excuse to avoid overseas ministry. Single missionaries face unique considerations and opportunities that deserve thoughtful examination rather than dismissal or romanticization. Evaluate whether singleness is truly an obstacle to your calling, and consider the unique strengths single missionaries bring to cross-cultural ministry.
