You paid careful attention to the way we lived among you, and determined to live that way yourselves. In imitating us, you imitated the Master. 1 Thessalonians 1:5 (The Message Bible)
The Lord has planted in our hearts a passion for the advancement of His Kingdom. Our 18+ years of missionary service in Africa has proven to be an excellent training ground for ministry to the unreached people of Mid-Columbia.
Returning to our own culture after these many years we feel foreign. Every relational exchange we enter requires a deliberate study of what might be appropriate in this context (often we miss it!). But we have found that this very process allows us a unique perspective that helps us see needs and opportunities that might otherwise be missed!
