Home Sweet Home

We have reached all but two of our goals to be able to leave for Ireland.

1. We have the final 24% of our monthly budget to raise 
2. We need to find someone to live in our house.

We would like to ask for your help regarding our house. If you are looking for a house in South Oklahoma City, if you know someone who is looking, or if your church would like to bless a missionary on furlough with housing...just shoot me an email.

Here are the details:

• We cannot rent (tax reasons).
• We are not aiming to make a profit (we need to cover mortgage & bills).
• We need someone by February at the latest.
• We want the right person/family...not just any person/family.

Thanks for your prayer and practical help in getting us to Ireland.

6 Things I Tell Future Missionaries

In all our travels, many people (particularly youth) come to us with a call to missions. They ask us to pray for them and ask our advice on how to become a missionary. Here are 6 things that I would say to someone called to be a missionary.

• Missions starts now. In other words, if you're not making a difference for the Kingdom here, you won't make a difference to the Kingdom there. 
• Go on as many missions trips as you can until you feel God leading you to a specific place.
• Read Celtic Way of Evangelism by George G. Hunter III
• Find a great missions organization to plug into. You can't do it on your own. I obviously suggest the Assemblies of God, one of the best organization in the world at sending and equipping missionaries.
• Start building relationship and connections in your area. You're gonna need them.
• Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray.

This is not all encompassing by any means, but it will get you off to a great start.
