A ministry with a blessing
One of the things that I have enjoyed most so far about our ministry here at the Akademie for World Mission is meeting and having fellowship with so many different missionaries. At the beginning of the year we started hosting a biweekly small group and a social about once a month for students who live at or near the school. At our social last night we had, what I thought, an incredible mix of people:
- Two Wycliff missionaries (one from Russiaand one from Chad)
- One former missionary from Colombia
- One missionary on furlough from Africa
- One person who is getting ready to leave for Brazil to work with street children
- A nurse who just returned from a 10 year term in Mozambique
- A couple who is getting ready to leave for Costa Rica in a few months
- An MK from Japan getting ready to go to Thailand
- A Swiss couple who just returned from Indonesia.
I am amazed and encouraged to see how the Lord has called each of these people to minister in all different parts of the world and I am blessed to be able to share in and learn about these ministries on all continents. It almost gives me a glimpse of what heaven might be like when we see all the things the Lord has been doing around the world.
That is so cool! We continue to miss you both greatly! Say hi to the girls from Pastor Craig! Tammy and I both send our greetings and love.
