Rethinking Missions While Support Raising

July 18, 2011 by Justin 2 Comments

The other night, my wife Karena and I went to the home of a dear friend of ours, Ms. Elisabeth.  She grew up in Germany and has been widowed for several years now.  As we spent several hours sharing about our story and vision, and asking for support, we learned a valuable lesson. During the time that we resigned from being local-church youth ministers, and just before God led us to work with YouthHOPE, we applied at several mission organizations.  One was: Samaritan’s Purse.  They are an International Christian relief and evangelism organization which provides spiritual and physical aid to victims of war, poverty, natural disaster, and disease.  Most people, who have heard of SP, are familiar with their successful shoebox ministry: “Operation Christmas Child.”  Not only was Ms. Elizabeth familiar with it, she was actually 5 years old when she received a shoebox at Christmas time.  Her brother got a box as well. For …

This might be our last blog update from Cambodia. Our team has grown exceedingly close over the past 2 months. I can hardly believe that we will soon be leaving the country that we have mutually grown to know and love.  God has definitely brought this group together for "such a time as this."  We all have different talents that can be used to bring glory to the one true King.  I am incredibly humbled to see how divine God's plan is and how he has knit us in a group, who is far better together as a team than we are as individuals.  Oh Praise Him. We have been working in separate ministries much of the summer; Kristen, Sue and Adam have been working in the villages most days of the week teaching English and Christian values. Hannah, Kristy, and Brittany have been teaching art, English and bible lessons at the safe house.  Sue just had her final class for the North Korean doctors on Monday and for the final week we will be …

God’s Plans Are Far Better Than Ours…

To our faithful supporters who are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace and Peace to you from God our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ. We cannot think of a better way to address you than the way that Paul addresses the faithful church in Ephesus almost 2000 years ago.  Our team is so thankful for your partnership in sharing the gospel over the past 2 months.  We are hoping to finish the race strong together, as Christ unites our hearts through prayer.  God is revealing the fruit of your prayers in amazing ways.  Even in our struggles, God has shown us the purpose in His timing.  We would like to share a story with you of God's provision this last week. Last Tuesday, we took Britney Sue to the doctor because she had some pretty nasty bug bites on her legs.  Immediately after arriving at a clinic, they ushered her back into the surgical room followed by three doctors, then three more... and then 3 more closely behind....  Don't …

Woah… We’re Halfway There…

In exactly 3 weeks we begin our journey to the US. It can't be true that we've been away from home for over a month now??! This week we closed a chapter in our Cambodian adventure. After 3 weeks of English classes, kids clubs, dance and Christian values classes, we said goodbye to the AMAZING kids at the Puok School out in one of the villages. It truly was a life-changing experience to work with kids who are so hungry to learn new words and hear more Bible stories. We got some beautiful artwork from some of our favorite kids as goodbye presents. It was hard to explain to them why we had to leave but we told them it was time for us to go help some different students and that we will be thinking of them always. On our last day at "sala bpoa keyoo" (the blue school), we had a little graduation ceremony from dance class, along with lots of pictures and hugs with the leadership team out there (Roselette, Nary, and Rayuk). We are so …
