In this ministry known as a “calling,” we often focus on those at the forefront, while overlooking the group standing silently behind them—their families. They have given up personal boundaries, private space, and the leisure of ordinary family life, yet in return, they have found a rare and often unspoken warmth. Today, we step into the lives of these people who, though unordained, are equally called and sent.

The true power of faith lies not in producing the number of “modern martyrs,” but in remembering that unique salvation.
