Since the time of our engagement 2 and a half years ago we felt the Lord calling us to Urban Ministry. We found ourselves viewing the urban community as Christ did. A hurting people who needed to know of the Lord’s love, hope and grace. The Lord has taken us on a detour since then to Mooseheart Child City & School Inc. We see many reasons why the Lord brought us here, however He has now opened the door for us to finally serve Him in Urban St. Louis, MO. Randy and I will be spending this next year raising support to be full time missionaries with World Impact. We will be serving in the St. Louis mission field; striving to meet the needs of the people in that community so that they may come to know of the hope in our Lord, Christ Jesus as Savior. This first year Randy will be serving as World Impact/St. Louis’ Children’s Ministry Coordinator while I tend to our little one and volunteer at the center. The Lord has impressed upon our hearts individually and as a couple to spend our time here in this life to love on His people that they may know of His hope in a hopeless world. Would you join us in building the Kingdom through supported prayer. Pray not only for the relationships that await us in St. Louis but for the ones with our girls here at Mooseheart. Pray that these girls will see the Lord through our lives and that we may deepen our relationships with them.
