Women Surviving the Great Commission


Missionary women have high expectations when they respond to God's call; of themselves, their mission agencies, host cultures, churches, co-workers, and even of God. These expectations are often times impossible to fulfill and can lead to mental and physical exhaustion. Eighty percent of missionary women feel they have come close to burnout, whether they were married or single, traditional or tent making, new or experienced.


In Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission, Sue provides research and surveys from the field while Robynn lends her own personal experiences to demonstrate how burnout can happen and how God can bring life from ashes. Join them as they explore how to develop realistic expectations and yet maintain faith in our sovereign God who continues to accomplish the impossible.

Author Biography

Robyn Bliss grew up in Pakistan and returned to North America to attend Briercrest Bible College. She and her husband Lowell ministered over 13 years in South Asia with Christar. Together they served in leadership, helped start an international fellowship, were on a church planting team, launched a Christian Ashram, and began a language-learning program. Robynn and her family returned to North America exhausted, but God in His tender grace restored and healed. Burnout was God's tool in revamping her expectations of who He meant her to be all along.


Sue Eenigenburg graduated from Moody Bible Institute and Lancaster Bible College. She has served with Christar for more than thirty-six years. She and her husband Don have four children and twelve grandchildren. Sue has served on four different continents. Sue is the author of Screams in the Desert and More Screams, Different Deserts. She also co-authored Expectations and Burnout: Women Surviving the Great Commission and Sacred Siblings: Valuing One Another for the Great Commission.
