Notes:
The term third culture kid (TCK) may be new to some. TCK's are people who were raised in a culture other than their parents' or the culture of their country of nationality, and also live in a different environment during a significant part of their child development years. They typically are exposed to a greater volume and variety of cultural influences than those who grow up in one particular cultural setting. The term applies to both adults and children, as the term "kid" refers to the individual's formative or developmental years.
TCKs move between cultures before they have had the opportunity to fully develop their personal and cultural identity. The first culture of such individuals refers to the culture of the country from which the parents originated, the second culture refers to the culture in which the family currently resides, and the third culture refers to the amalgamation of these two cultures. (Source: Wikipedia)
Tim and his wife Eve have raised three TCK's, who are now young adults with some stories to tell.

In this episode of Navigate, Tim has a conversation with Dave Lovett about their overlapping years living in Central Asia and some of the life lessons they've learned.
Vision, when left untamed, can have a way of crowding out our enjoyment of the simple things in life. It has the potential to sabotage relationships, drying up an otherwise fruitful life. Church planters can face this. Entrepreneurs struggle with this. Just about anyone with ambition.
What do you do with a when vision collides with unmet expectations? Holding onto a vision, as our guest will share today, can sometimes feel like holding a tiger by the tail. When so much about living in uncertain times and places is focused on survival, how can we keep the vision alive and not neglect the people most important to us? These are real questions not only for cross-cultural workers; they are universal concerns for anyone desiring to maintain a healthy work/life balance. Listen in!
About Dave Lovett:
In l979, Dave served for two years with Operation Mobilization in India, Pakistan and Europe in a ministry of discipleship and evangelism. Pam and Dave met at Bethany College of Missions and graduated in l982 with BA's in Missions and Theology. They were married in October of l982. After marriage, Dave and Pam went with OM to India and Pakistan in l983-85 to lead OM's base for training, outreach/church ministry, hospitality and administration in New Delhi, India. They served for two years in Bangladesh (1986-88), where Dave was the Director of an OM training program for Bangladeshi young men from Hindu and Muslim backgrounds. They worked for two years (l988-90) in Pakistan, along the border of Afghanistan learning the Afghan Dari language and culture. After eight years of ministry, they took a sabbatical, and Dave did an MA in Intercultural Studies and Missions at Wheaton Graduate School (l990-91). While at Wheaton, they agreed with OM leaders to pioneer a new ministry in Tajikistan. In August l992, they felt God leading them to start a new organization called the Central Asian Development Agency (CADA.) From 1993-2006, Dave and Pam’s team helped start four registered churches and many home groups for the new believers. In 2001, they started a new ministry in Afghanistan with Operation Mercy that has grown to a team of 15-20 staff working in three cities and in rural areas. In January 2004, they started a new ministry in Iran working in disaster relief with earthquake victims and with Afghan refugee women and their families. Today, Dave and Pam serve as regional Leaders for OM’s ministries in Central and South Asia, overseeing the ministries in Iran, India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (as well as 10 other countries).
