Christopher & Evelyn So all of our training here in Roach, MO is for one purpose– preparing us for our ministry overseas. I have to be completely honest. This training does exactly that. I have not yet been to the field, but I can be so sure about this because of the staff here. These people have been there, done that, and are pouring into the lives of missionary candidates here at “The Center.” I cannot begin to describe to you all of what they provide and how they provide it, but I am pretty sure that this is the best training you could possibly receive for this profession we are going into.
Everything from practically managing your time in a foreign environment where time vampires lurk around every corner, to setting up solar panels and water filtration, finding a spring for fresh water, how to bury your poop- to things like how to maintain your relationships in a healthy way with your coworkers when you are thousands of miles from anyone in the jungle, and they are the only ones you know how to talk with– but you hate their guts. It has been a privilege to train here, and I would like to thank all those who are making it possible through finances and prayer for the teachers, staff, and experience you are employing to reach the ends of the earth through his servants and missionary candidates here in Roach, MO.
Above are some pictures of class, and our water filtration lab. I help a lot of people with their computers pretty regularly… it is an honor to possess the skills to help these people who, like us, are sold out to seeing unreached tribal people touched with knowledge of God.
I guess I write all of this because occasionally, I just am humbled at this huge thing we are all a part of- it is so easy to forget and make ourselves the center of our attention. LAME.
