So, what the heck are we doing? Why spend money and time to leave this country, and our family, and friends, and church, and jobs, and a house, and Starbucks, and Air Conditioning, and all the great things this county has to offer and spend time with other Christians around the world? Well, really we just feel that God wanted us to go... and that's about it so far.
We're not exactly sure what we are going to do. We don't exactly have a specific list of action items and tasks to accomplish. In fact, our 12 month schedule, as rough as it was, has already been modified as our first planned stop may not be a safe and viable option.
There are a few important things we DO know, and that drives us:
- God loves EVERYONE and wants us all to know that!
- We are all lost and God wants to reconnect with us! And thanks to Jesus and the Cross that is possible!
- God wants to free us from the heavy burdens that we put on ourselves... from culture, the world, and other gods.
And most of all, we know that He uses people to help spread that good news, and we want to be a part of that!
So, we don't know all the details, but we know God wants to use us and we trust God to fill in the details later. He has already blown our minds with how things have worked out so far, and we pray for continued trust in Him, His love, and His plan. Please join us as we plead with God to go ahead and fill in the pesky little details. Thanks for reading and more to come...
P.S. Something that has encouraged us that we wanted to share:
"Missions is not about a recruitment project for God's labor force. It is a liberation project from the heavy burdens and hard yokes of other gods." - John Piper
