Sometimes the best option is to start afresh.
Five years ago when we began this journey of serving as missionaries with South America Mission, we began a blog, mainly to share with friends and family a bit of our lives “overseas.” In fact, we aren’t overseas at all, just south a little bit, living and working in the jungle city of Pucallpa, Peru. As teachers, we were incredibly blessed to be able to use our gifts in the service of the Kingdom at SAM Academy, a school for missionary kids.
As time passed, our ministry grew and changed: We realized our role was a lifetime service not just a temporary season and we would continue working at SAM Academy as long as God called for us to be there. Mike “upgraded” to school administrator, while continuing to teach. Our own kids grew and developed into their own little personalities. And then, one day I logged on to our blog and realized I hadn’t updated in TWO YEARS!
Two years! How is that even possible?
They’ve been two amazing years though. God has continued to walk with us and bless us in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Even through the storms of health issues and other challenges, He has shown us His incredible love in so many ways.
So, after a two year hiatus, we decided now was a good time to start writing afresh, with a new look and a new site. We pray that this space might be used to share all the wonderful ways God is leading us through this journey of ministry and might connect us to those who are walking with us in it.
