Resourcing Third Culture Kids

Tim returns to the topic of Third Culture Kids with friend and TCK educationial specialist Bethany. Due to the sensitive nature of the region of the world where Bethany serves, we will be using her first name only. 
Bethany has been working in Central Eurasia with TCKs since 2005.  She’s served as a teacher, principal, and an educational consultant for cross cultural workers serving throughout that part of the world. This includes countries such as Tajikistan and Turkey. She combines her passion of reaching the lost with the message of hope while supporting Third Culture Kids and seeing them thrive on the field.
