Randy and I have felt the call into missions for many years. In fact while dating this was a huge topic of conversation as I knew I was to be involved in missions and specifically Africa. We have both been involved in missions since and prayerfully sought the Lord in this passion which continued to grow stronger. This has been the heart of our marriage for the last 15 years. During this time we have been being prepared for when, where and how God would use us. God continued to break our hearts for the the things that broke his. God’s doors clearly started opening for us after He moved us back home to Minnesota and to Hosanna! Church in 2008.
How beautiful it is to behold God's heart in a town called Hosanna, Ethiopia and to partner with a church called Hosanna! We are excited to share with you our story, and the many stories of those God is bringing together. So we will gradually be telling you the Hosanna story a piece at a time, as well as others who will be sharing their stories as well.
We believe that God is calling us to Build Bridges. Building a bridge can not be built alone but, takes many. We have seen God's hand bringing just the right people with the right gifting and God stories of God moving within them. 1 Peter 4:10 states this well. "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." God you are faithful!
