Seattle MissionsFest

What an exciting weekend! We just returned from two days in Bothell, WA at the Seattle MissionsFest. This was a great opportunity to share with participants about Teen Missions & network with other missionaries about their ministries. We were blessed to have a Teen Missions staff person from Georgia out to help us at the booth. We had a lot of great conversations with young people & adults alike. Ryan & I even had the opportunity to share about Teen Missions with homeschoolers & children in two different seminars. This was defiantly outside our comfort zone but the kids sure seem to enjoy it & many stopped by our booth afterwards. It was encouraging to see the turnout at this year's conference because I was a little discouraged after last year. We look forward to returning again next year.

Seattle or Bust

This is us a couple years back at Urbana....we'll probably look just as goofy this weekend :-)

Well this weekend we will be heading to Seattle to represent Teen Missions at Mission Fest Seattle. We will have the privilige of being joined by the Teen Missions Area representative for the East Coast. We are looking forward to this time of sharing with people in the Seattle area about TMI & upcoming trips that we will be offering during the 2009 Summer. Please pray for us as we present two seminars to children (ages 7-10) about mission opportunities for them. This is a new age group for us to do a seminar with & we are a little uncertian about how it will be received.

Oxymoron - "Wondering Fast"

Well as our family size gets larger & we stand on the edge of change again, I figured it was time to start a blog for the whole family & not just Micah (sorry little guy). "Fast Wonderings" seems like it has been the theme of our married life. Ryan and I always seem to be going somewhere fast, but not quite knowing where that may be. It seems that we enjoy to "hurry-up & wait." But the truth of the matter is we hope that there has been less "wondering" in our lives and more of seeking God. In seeking Him we seem to have set foot all over the US & around the world. Now as we begin a new step in our lives and take the biggest leap of faith & consider joining Teen Missions full-time we really don't know where this "wondering" is going to take us. We can tell you where we think we will be going, but we really can't tell you where we will be, even a year from now. So we take a blind step out into the world of full-time missions & pray that you will join us as we travel throughout the West Coast (and hopefully the US) promoting the vision of Teen Missions & empowering youth towards full-time ministry.
