Hey there,
I am on a flight back to Washington State, I ordered a hummus snack pack because our flight was delayed, and I will miss dinner! I guess it’s good practice for the loads of travel I’ll be doing next year! I am leaving Minnesota, where I just completed GoWeek! WHOO! GoWeek is where Goers gather with our sending cohort to learn how to build our ministry support team!
While I am an introvert and was admittedly hesitant about meeting new people and spending a week in a cabin, I am happy to report I had SO MUCH FUN! It was so encouraging to meet other Goers who are in the same season of life. While there were moments of shared lament about leaving our communities and sharing fears, overall, our conversations focused on praising God for what He has done and the honor it is to join him in the work of Missions.
While many people view support raising as a necessary evil to launch on the field, I think inviting others to join us in the call to local and global missions is a beautiful opportunity. I have 18 meetings this week to share what the Lord has been doing in my life and invite close friends and family to join me in my ministry.
I’ll continue to send updates; in the meantime, may God bless you and keep you,
A.J.
