“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.” 3 John 1:4
Our Swazi trip preparations are in full swing. Because our family has been spread out over 4 states, we have been meeting over Zoom as we work through the itinerary, expectations, ministry and cultural preparations, and logistics. One of the unexpected joys that we are seeing come to fruition, is watching our children who are now adults take leadership over the ministry areas.
Cody is preparing to lead trainings on trauma in our bodies from his Master’s in Mental and Clinical Health degree. Melissa is equipped to speak from her training as a doula as well as leadership from her years of experience as a Resident Director on college campuses. Lauren is excited to facilitate our smaller group times and lead with the children. Jake is going to lead worship at our gatherings. Abby is organizing the Fun Day at the Carepoint and speaking on developing community. Sam is organizing our devotions and preparing to preach. Laila is ready to jump in wherever she is needed and is excited to visit her home country for the first time since she was adopted in 2009! Everyone is leading our team in daily devotionals and are ready to serve in any way needed.
