Delightful Deputation (Part 3) The Fun

Delightful Deputation (Part 1) The Focus
Delightful Deputation (Part 2) The Family

Maybe your definition of deputation looks more like this:

That time period when it's work, work, work, and nothing but sitting in a car or sitting in a hotel until you reach the field.

Um, well, deputation can be that for your family if you make it that way. But we had a totally different experience because deputation is what you make it.

Our definition looked more like this:

That time period when a missionary family travels around seeing things most people only see in books while they visit different churches.

Delightful Deputation (Part 1)


dep·u·ta·tion
ˌdepyəˈtāSHən
noun
a group of people appointed to undertake a mission or take part in a formal process on behalf of a larger group.



That's the formal definition. But what is your definition? No, not the textbook answer. What do you really think of deputation?
