## Resource

Cross-cultural workers are trained to work in their ministry—rarely on it. Like any vehicle, you use it to go somewhere, not to maintain it. But if 100% of the time is spent driving or riding and 0% maintaining, breakdown is inevitable. In this episode, Amy and Bernie unpack what it means to work "in" your ministry and "on" it and why investing in the “maintenance” side of ministry is essential for long-term sustainability.
