Send me Lord! I will follow!

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”  Isaiah 6:8

We are called as missionaries to go where ever the Lord sends us.  We have said, "Yes, we will follow!"  If that means to minister to His people in Malawi, we will go.  If that means to minister to His people in Peru, we will go!

Our mission post has been changed.  Malawi was a new mission post for FMC.  There was currently only one family at that post.  Their family recently went through a traumatic experience, which brought them back home.  Since there will be no one to welcome us, we will no longer be going to Malawi, Africa.  Instead, we will be serving in the jungles of Peru, South America.

At first our hearts were very sad at the loss of our mission to Africa.  We made plans with the other family in Malawi, we researched the country, we felt united as a family to be sent to Africa.  We were ready to go and love the people of Malawi.  That being said, we see God's hand in this change.  Our hearts are also drawn to community life.  There will be two other families, a team of single women and a team of single men in Peru with us!  We feel so blessed to share this mission with these other missionaries!

Our new mission post will be in north central Peru, about one hour south of Tarapoto.  We hope to get everything in order, finish formation, and fly out the end of January.  Please keep us in your prayers as we do our best to be docile to the Holy Spirit!

  2. I LOVED my time in Peru and would happily connect you tp a priest friend of mine from WI who is at an orphanage outside of Lima. You certainly can relate to the Holy Family as their plans are changed and off to Egypt they go! God is with you, too as you go! May you have a blessed Christmas!
