Missionary Talks 11: Elisabeth Carney


Our interview with Elisabeth Carney is the third in our series with missionary kids. She grew up on the mission field of Argentina with her parents and three siblings as they ministered to the Jewish community.

As the oldest of the MKs I have interviewed, she gives insight that the younger interviewees may not yet see. She also has the experience of being a missionary and raising her kids on the mission field in Mexico. You will enjoy her enthusiasm and love for her family as well as her openness to sharing what it was like to move back to the US after her experiences in Argentina.

Here is a mash up of my show with an episode of Phedippidations where Adam Tinkoff (of Burning 20) was talking about mate. Enjoy the clip. […]
