It is important to know and understand what family and friends think and feel about what God is calling you to do. This will determine how much information you share with individuals.
For example, if God is calling you to an unstable region and you have friends who worry, you might need to consider giving them information on all that you will be doing. Why? You don't want to have to comfort those who are worried while at the same time seeking them to pray for you while you are in the unstable country. In addition, we can also discuss the spiritual implication of having people filled with fear discussing you assignment.
