My family received some very unexpected, yet exciting news this past weekend. My sister called and shared with me that her and my brother in law, Jeff, were feeling God calling them to Africa! A shocker to us to say the least. They went to Africa in January to visit some close friends serving as Missionaries. They loved it! This is not something all of the sudden. They have been feeling God moving in that direction for some time now, but in recent weeks, have felt a complete certainty that this is where God is leading. They met with the IMB already and are beginning the necessary steps to serve as IMB Missionaries in Africa. It is a long process and a lot of training, so they actually will not relocate to Africa for 2 years. Which is a really good thing, because that gives us all time to get used to the idea ourselves. They will live their 3 years before returning to the US for 3 months and then go back again. Pray for the adjustment that will be on my family. It will be hard, but their new journey will be worth the sacrifice!
I am so overwhelmed with joy for Jeff, Taryn and my sweet niece Anne Blye. God is good. It looks like Crossroads Church of Long Island will have to take a mission trip to Africa in the future! :).
