It is both encouraging\nand exciting to do face-to-face meetings with young people wanting to embrace a\nlife of service in reaching the lost. \nMany times these potential candidates want to hear our story of how God\ndirected our steps.  As one mentor told\nus early on\u2026 \u201cYou can\u2019t steer a parked car.\u201d \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we took opportunity\nto acquaint ourselves with God\u2019s desire for the nations, we found ourselves\ndissatisfied with our careers \u2013not that we didn\u2019t like what we were doing, but\nfeeling there had to be something more in serving Christ.  We were already on track with reaching out to\npeople at our workplace as well as to those in our community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it was\nsatisfying to lead people to Christ and disciple them, we felt there had to be\nmore we could do.  That\u2019s when we learned\nthere were isolated people groups living in hard to reach places of the world\nwho needed to hear about Jesus.  After\nmonths of prayer and seeking wise counsel among the godly, we left our jobs and\nbegan a 3 \u00bd year journey of training.  Four\nmonths later we located our family to Papua New Guinea to advance God\u2019s kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It hasn\u2019t always been\neasy but we continue to learn lessons of faith as we serve where God has placed\nus.  Our ambition to work among lost\npeople in remote locations has not waned though we are now stateside due to\nJoyce\u2019s renal health.  God certainly has\nopened unto us many doors of ministry to encourage and come alongside those\ndesiring to serve.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it\u2019s not about us\nand what we do.  It\u2019s about what God\nwants to do in the lives of others for the glory of His Great Name.  \u2026And so we continue serving; urging, nudging,\nand motivating others to consider their part in bringing in the harvest.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our continued thanks to\nthose who make possible our ongoing work thru prayer and sacrificial\ngiving.  Please pray that God will\ncontinue to raise up workers as we continue on in this role of ministry.  Thanks for all you do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
