STEPS

When we think about all the Lord has done in our lives, it is a long story of obediently taking one "step" at a time.  I wish I would have started a blog 16+ years ago.  Then each "step" would have been recorded.  But since that did not happen we will just begin.

In our life connection group during the fall and winter of 2012-2013 we had been studying several studies that began to change our view points and challenge our life-styles.  Theses studies, "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan, "Greater" by Stephen Furtick and "Radical" by David Platt all shook up Barry and my life.  They showed us that we needed to make changes in our family and that we were being called to begin taking new "steps" in obedience.

We were asked to speak in Guatemala at a Pastor's Congress in March of 2013.  After praying we felt that we needed to "step" into this opportunity to serve the pastors and leaders of the Wesleyan Churches in several Central American Countries.  It was through that Congress that we find ourselves on the journey we are on today.  The Lord opened our eyes to a new vision for our family through that Congress.  And we are doing our best to take small "steps" of obedience, each day.

We returned to the USA not sure how to respond or what the new "vision" was all about.  Through prayer and seeking out Godly leaders, we found peace through each "step" we took with Global Partners, the mission arm of the Wesleyan Church.

It was beginning of October, 2013, that we were appointed to serve as Global Partner Full-Time Missionaries to Central America.  Barry will be mentoring, encouraging, training and teaching pastors in several Central American countries.  Together we will be working to help the leaders of these churches to grasp a full vision and begin taking "steps" towards becoming "Great Commission Churches".  I will be working with women's ministry.

We are striving to trust and be obedient with each "step" we take.  

We hope you will "step" out with us and join our journey.
