What an interesting journey the past several years have been.  Our interest in missions began by hosting a missionary in our home while he was in Atlanta for a conference.  The following year we became involved with a local missions agency that ministered to children and families in local apartment complexes that housed mostly internationals.

Then we began supporting other mission activities and our first short term mission trip was to Botswana, Africa.  At first thought Africa seems a bit scary. Long flights, wild animals, a lot of unknown.  But, God provided.  We knew we were supposed to go.  After all Matthew 28:19 tells us to go and make disciples of all nations.  All nations, all people, everywhere.  This was a life changing experience and I am thankful to God for His choosing me to go.

This year will be our sixth short term trip.  The number of trips is not what is important.  Being obedient to God’s plan and allowing Him to use me to share His love with others is most important of all.   

I am very excited that God is providing the opportunity for me to return to Honduras.  I look forward to seeing some old friends, making some new ones and most of all I am looking forward to what God will teach me as I serve Him.
