\"Spending<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharing the vision God has given can be an incredible journey.  On the other hand, it also has it’s own unique set of challenges that sometimes only those that have been through it or are going through it can understand.  So when the opportunity arose to spend time with future NTM partners to the Philippines, we were extremely excited.<\/p>\n

For the first few days of June we have had the pleasure of hosting future NTM Philippine partners, Lucas & Naomi Lorenz<\/strong><\/a> along with their three children; Solomon, Patience, & Eden.  Lucas & Naomi were fellow students with us at NTM’s Missionary Training Center in Camdenton, MO..  Like us, they have been busy sharing the vision God has given them for reaching the unreached in the Philippines since graduation.<\/p>\n

Currently the Lorenz’s are on a six week road trip, visiting friends & family across the United States.  Beginning in early July, we too will start a similiar journey to visit friends & family across the country.  These can be very exciting times but they can also be very tiring times.  <\/p>\n

Please be in prayer for us & our future partners as we are on an exciting journey.  Both families would like to be in the Philippines by August but we also fully recognize the need to patiently wait on the Lord.  Whatever God’s timing, it has truly been an encouragement to spend time with each another, E<\/strong>ncouraging O<\/strong>ne A<\/strong>nother on the J<\/strong>ourney<\/u><\/em>.  Our parting words as they left were, "See you in the Philippines."
