First to update you on support: We currently have 63% of our total goal ($17,800) committed! That's over $11,000 already! And we've loved being able to spend time with so many of you, although it's kind of bittersweet because it just makes us realize what great friends and family we have and how much we'll miss them when we leave in 2 months.
We're hoping this blog becomes an opportunity for dialog between us. So we want to try something that involves you.
We're beginning to pay more attention to how God speaks uniquely to us. Lacey's noticed He likes to bring up questions in her mind that cause her to seek out truth. Going straight to Him in scripture and prayer is obviously key. But she's also someone that thinks through things by talking them out-probably why these always end up longer than planned!
There's a few questions that we'd like to hear your response on. And also, we'd love for you to include the why, for example what you base it on. We're looking for scripture, experience, anything.
So here we go:
1. What do you believe about foreign missions? Should we go? Who should go? How do you know if you're supposed to go? Why should we/you not go?
2. What do you believe about missionaries/ministry staff/etc. living on full support? (This can include those in foreign missions, churches and other ministries here in the states.)
Please be candid! We want to hear what you really think.
