Mike and Jenn were both trying to figure out what the Lord would have for them in missions. Early in their dating relationship, Jenn confronted Mike with a big question. “I told Mike, ‘I am called to the unreached people in the world, and if you’re not on the same page, this is never going to work.”
Mike’s response? “Oh, this is good!”
“Our number one tip,” Jenn said, “is, if you are feeling the call, but looking for a spouse is to share that call. One person cannot carry the call. It has to be an individual call for both people.”
“I’ve never seen another option of what God wanted for me,” Jenn added. “I had what some people would call a ‘dream job’ in marketing in the comfortable city of Spartanburg, but the whole time I was working, Mike and I were working on plans to leave.”
