Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6
Greetings! For those of you that don't already know, we have committed to fulltime missionary service with Teen Missions International. God began a work in our hearts 16 years ago and has shown us that now is the time He desires to complete it! This is an awesome organization desiring to give youth the opportunity to experience real missions NOW instead of waiting until they are older. They have been around since 1970 and have since sent out over 42,000 kids to do the work of the Lord! They also have ministries worldwide, including: missionary training for youth in 24 different countries, Bible, Missionary and Work Training Centers around the world and 32 AIDS Orphan Rescue Units in Subsahara Africa. We are so excited about the opportunity to work with an ministry like Teen Missions!
We have been asked what our responsibility will be within the ministry. First we will move to Merritt Island, Florida where Teen Missions headquarters are located. We will be living in a trailer about 5 minutes away. During the schoolyear we will work at the headquarters preparing for the summer teams. It takes the full year to get everything ready for the summer. Amber will be working in the Teen Missions office in whatever department she is needed, hopefully working to increase the public relations aspect of the ministry. Brian will most likely be working in the computer department and also mechanics shop. We will be out of the country leading teams in the summer and our children will go with us. There is the possibility that we could leave the country during the school year also, if needs arise at overseas bases. This is a ministry that requires flexibility from its staff, as the needs of the ministry are always changing and we are excited to be used by the Lord in a variety of ways!
