Shannon Eaton

Family Life News   8/13/2024

 

Shannon Eaton grew up as a “PK” — a pastor’s kid. As an adult, she has served on the mission field in Latin America.

Her latest chapter of ministry including helping other international mission workers to recognize signs of burnout and to deal with the stresses of living in multiple places, carrying a burden for the people they serve, and facing the everyday challenges of hard contexts. She tells her own story to Family Life’s Mark Webster, and offers encouragement and hope to her fellow missionaries. She says her heart “is with the people on the front line”.

 

Shannon Eaton, BSN, is a Pennsylvania registered nurse, continues to do domestic and global mission, and is a life coach with Safe Place. That ministry is located in Lehigh Valley.

Hometown Heroes airs most Tuesdays on Family Life’s Noon Report. You can also listen for it during our 5 O’Clock Report and listen anytime from the Family Life News podcasts.

“Hometown Heroes” on Family Life

“We sometimes feel like we kind of have to put Jesus in a box, go to work, and we can take Him back out when we come home. We gotta break that.”  — Liz Smith

Chatauqua County (NY) Paramedic Liz Smith felt a divine calling to provide encouragement and support for first responders in her local area. She says law enforcement, firefighters and ambulance crew sometime need mental health services for PTSD and simply dealing with the stresses and tragedies they face in the line of duty to others. She also says spiritual nurture is an important component to help these front-line heroes.

She and a police officer had parallel visions for such a supportive group, and used the numbers in Matthew 5:9 (“Blessed are the peacemakers…”) to form their name.

Hear about this Christian outreach, about the needs of those on the front lines in their communities, and how the Gospel of Jesus Christ is shaping those who answer the call when there is an emergency.
