Heading Out for a Year

Heading Out for a Year

As many of you know, we are heading out this coming week for a one-year ministry home assignment! Our organization recommends taking a home assignment every four years (or six months every two years) but we have never done this because it is difficult to uproot for a year, especially with the kids’ schooling. So, after nine and a half years […]
