Meeting the People of God

One of the best parts of deputation is the wonderful opportunity to meet a variety of people who are in the local churches we visiit. They all have stories to tell of God's working in their lives and families. It is a great testimony to the diverse gifts, qualities, and personalities that make up the body of Christ.



Our family would like to thank each and every one of you who have impacted our lives during the time we were with you. You have been a blessing to us and have taught us many things about the Christian life, parenting, homeschooling, mechanics, and many other areas of life.

Here is just a sampling of the people we have met during our pre-field ministry travels:

-Families who have adopted.
-Families with young children.
-Families with college age children.
-Families who have lost a loved one.
-Families who are also on deputation.
-Students studying at local colleges.
-Pastors who pastor multiple churches.
-Pastors who have been serving many years.
-Students studying for full time ministry.
-Families from different countries & cultures.
-Pastors who have been serving just a few years.
-Families who have children serving on the mission field.
-Families who are considering serving on the mission field.
-Families who have children planning to serve on the mission field.

David,
So where does Kristi like to go when you have a date night, and do you have access to sitters?

Kristi likes to eat at Chili's, Olive Garden, or Chipotles. As for the sitters, there are a couple of people in our church who volunteer to watch the kids so we can go out.

That is wonderfull that people will donate their time so that you do not have the added expense of havind sitters when you are going out, it really adds alot of cost to the evening. And what a testimony for that person to show the love of Christ thru their servant like attitude. I am enjoying reading your blog, and keep up the good job.
