Missions Resources
Welcome to our Missions Resources page!
When our family of five first moved from the UK to live in rural Africa, it was not easy. In fact, Joyce cried every night for the first year. We are therefore very passionate about trying to help make life as fun and easy as possible for individuals, couples and families to serve in remote places like ours. Whether you are going on missions for the first time or are a seasoned missionary, we hope that this page can be a blessing for you. Here you will find links to new content such as practical tips about missionary life, ideas for the home, kitchen and third-culture kid (TCK) education, being released regularly.

“May our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort, encouragement and hope by His grace, comfort and encourage and strengthen your hearts [keeping them steadfast and on course] in every good work and word.” – 2 Thes 2:16-17
We are praying for you and rooting for you with great crowd of witnesses, the angels and God Himself!
Love, the Samoutou family
