Many of you already know that we have been approved as Missionary Associates (MAs) with the Assemblies of God. We have felt a call to world missions for a long time and are excited to be able to take this first step in that direction. We will have the amazing opportunity to serve a missionary who is currently established in the field and gain some much needed expereince.
Our official title will be as Resident Deans for the Engage program. You can visit their site to learn more about their vision www.engagemylife.com, but in the nut shell they use college students in their first two years of school to assist missionaries. They get the chance to be in the field while completing college courses. Our duties as MAs would be to oversee the daily schedule of the students and assisting in mentoring the students. We are so excited about this since we love college students. Our heart is to see them grow in their love of God and in the confidence that He has called them to be set apart for a great work.
We have not been assigned to a particular country as of yet, but will hopefully get that information soon. The first step of our journey though, is Pre-Field Orientation (PFO). It will be held June 9-21, 2012 in Springfield, MO. While there we will be involved in 2 weeks of missions training. During that time not only will we receive valuable information about missionary work and be poured into by our teachers, but our children will also be involved in learning about missions and moving to a different culture. At the end of this time we will be commissioned by the Assemblies of God to begin our missionary journey.
Going to PFO now will enable us to leave for the field as soon as funds are raised. The first funds we need to raise though is our expenses for PFO. The cost is $2500 for the entire family, this includes our room and board, tuition, and child care; and the travel cost is estimated at $2250. We will need to have all travel expenses raised by at least June 1st and all other money will need to be in by June 21st.
Please pray about supporting us... and please pray for us! It is a huge step of faith for the entire family, but we know God has called us.
