Justin and Shelbi Brammer Challenging the Next Generation to Missions 
T-minus 9 ½ weeks until graduation! We’re really not counting – I just figured that out.
So what happens to us after graduation? Well… our plans have changed a bit from what we originally thought we’d be doing in Jan. God has a way of keeping things unpredictable at times so we learn to trust in Him more and not simply our own planning abilities.
Originally, we planned to graduate and then head to Papua New Guinea for the month of January. But, as we corresponded with the leadership of the program that we were to help out with over there, it became apparent that what we were hoping to gain from the experience is not what they were going to be able to provide. Instead, most of what we would be participating in would be a repeat of the training we have already had during our time here in Missouri. After praying about it and talking with the leadership here, we feel that it would be a poor use of money and time to travel that far to spend most of our time doing things we have already done and then only get to spend a small amount of time in a tribal location, which we could do for much less by going to a closer location than Papua New Guinea. To throw together a trip like this in the next several months while trying to finish school would be a bit of a stretch for us. So, we have decided that we will spend the time after our graduation working solely on our partnership development. Once we have gotten established in our ministry here, we would like to visit and spend some time in a tribe in the next several years instead.
So what does our time after graduation look like? We will be spending time in Jan. – Aug. 2010 traveling around visiting churches and friends presenting our ministry and giving people the opportunity to partner with us in seeing unreached people given the chance to hear the truth of God’s love and plan for them.
Next weekend we head to Pennsylvania to participate in a program that is very similar to the one we will starting here. We look forward to talking with the leaders there and picking their brains on how they started their program, promote it, and maintain it.
