Last week we accepted a volunteer missions assignment through the Church of the Nazarene in the Asia-Pacific region. Those of you who know us well, know that this is the realization of a calling to cross-cultural missions that both of us share. Although not a long term assignment, this opportunity in Saipan allows us exposure to a mission field of which neither of us have experience - a great chan
ce to get our “feet wet” in a foreign context. We are pursuing the call of long term missions, so we are grateful for this initial experience together and the opportunity to work alongside the Global Mission Center and Mission Corps, who have been most helpful so far. A little now about Saipan and the work we will be involved in. Saipan is one of the Northern Mariana Islands, in the Western Pacific (1500 miles North of Papua New Guinea and 1600 miles East of the Philippines, just north of Guam). Saipan has a population of less than 50,000, including native Chamorro and Carolinian islanders, as well as migrant Filipinos. We have the pleasure to join the ongoing work of Nazarene missionaries Dave & Helen Ann Bucher, who host and disciple a house church. For part, we will be working alongside them, then undertaking leadership over the summer months when the Buchers return to the U.S. We pray that they will have a refreshing time with their children and grandchildren. We believe that ministry is best done through community, and that you can be a part of this ministry that will touch lives in Saipan. Please consider supporting us as a prayer partner in this ministry. Please pray that God would prepare our hearts and provide for our needs. Pray not only for us, but for the people already there, the future conversations and meetings with our new neighbors. We are unwaveringly confident of God’s hand on this opportunity and are so excited about what could come of it. In addition, to serve in this ministry we need to raise $3000. The cost includes travel expenses, utilities, food, and insurance. While we fully believe that God will provide the funds needed for this journey, we also believe that He often choses to do that through His people. We ask that you would prayerfully consider giving financially to this ministry. We would enjoy the opportunity to talk with you about Saipan and answer any questions you might have. So, With all this in mind, would you partner with us both financially and in prayer as we travel in faith to Saipan?
