Missouri grew on us. It’s sad to say goodbye to so many people at the end of our two year training here because we’ve made a lot of great friends and memories. Goodbyes, like packing, are part of missionary life. I’ve found over the years that goodbyes also mean new beginnings. So here’s what our new beginning will look like:
Daily Life in Michigan:
Moving is just the first step. After we’ve settled in we will dig into Partnership Development, or sharing our hearts for Cambodia with churches and indivdiuals. This is a huge task since it will require a lot of appointments, informal meetings, formal meetings, presentations, and casual conversation.
Partnership Development is our primary focus, but much of our week will also be spent in our church’s office. Sharon and I are both volunteering 30 hours for an internship with Trinity Church, which will be a give and take sort of partnership resulting in mutual benefit and certainly fulfilling whatever needs we can help with.
As far as housing goes, we will be staying at my parent’s house in Willamston, about 20 minutes from Trinity, where we will intern. The situation couldn’t be more perfect as the rentors of the house just moved out, opening the house for our use.
God’s Provision:
It has been exciting to see how God has been providing for us and going before us in this situation. We are trusting Him to continue to provide as we’re faithful to freely share our vision for Cambodia and our needs.
We can’t wait. Join the journey by giving, praying, and encouraging us. God bless.
