Many Chinese missionaries grow up with values of endurance and sacrificial service. Their greatest challenge is often not the hardship or ministry workload, but the unseen and heavy feeling of isolation—having to carry burdens alone, with no one to share the load. In the busyness of ministry, this loneliness is often overlooked but deeply real. Many give their all to care for others, yet leave little room for grace and care for themselves, believing that asking for help shows weakness or lack of faith. This mindset only deepens their sense of being alone and unsupported.

Serving faithfully and offering our lives to God is a beautiful commitment that pleases Him. But we must also remember: serving the Lord and caring for ourselves are not in conflict. Seeking help and walking with others is not weakness, but a humble and responsible posture. When we allow ourselves to slow down, receive care, and walk in grace, our witness for Christ becomes more sustainable, impactful, and full of joy.
