Happy New Year everyone!
This was a very full holiday season and I am happy to be sharing some fun news with you! In December… Jared and I got engaged! I feel so incredibly blessed by the way God has brought us together. We are really looking forward to getting to do the things God has called us both to do, but as a team!
This means we will be moving to Argentina, to continue to participate with what God is doing in the Vineyard churches there. In this transition, through prayer and discernment with friends and mentors, we’ve decided to take a year in Fresno after getting married at the end of April, to prepare for the move to Argentina in the summer of 2027. We don't know what everything will look like yet, but we would love if you could pray with us about both our year of preparation in Fresno and our move to Argentina.
Here are some specific things you could join us in praying for in this season:
- This season of engagement… preparing for marriage, Jared’s last 3 months in Mendoza, and all that comes with planning a wedding.
- Our first year of marriage… direction from the Lord about priorities for that year, provision for a place to live, and preparation for the transition to Argentina.
The Continuation of the Calling
A few years ago, the Lord really put it on my heart to be a “bridge between missions and the Church.” When He spoke about this, I had no idea what He meant but I did know that my heart was being turned towards something that the Lord was doing. Shortly after God shared this with me, the opportunity to work at GoMission.Church came about. The whole ministry being centered around “engaging the people of God with the mission of God for the glory of God”... confirmed for me that this was the next step in what the Lord was asking me to do!
Even as Jared and I prepare for this next season of life and spending our first year of marriage Fresno, my mission at GoMission.Church remains the same until we head out to Argentina. What is amazing to me, is that this whole idea around bridging missions and the Church, isn’t done or going away. If you aren’t familiar with the work Jared is currently up to, you can read about it in his updates here! In summary, the church he is currently supporting in Mendoza is a part of a wider partnership between a few different churches in Argentina and America. Jared and I have enjoyed dreaming about the potential for this bridging work to continue as we step into this church partnership together when we move to Argentina, getting to further connect people with what God is doing in other parts of the world, in His Church! I just think this is such a beautiful work of the Lord in our lives, inviting us into this marriage, where we get to participate in what God is doing! This will be a continuation, even a deepening of the things God has burdened our hearts for. I am so excited to see God move in more ways, in GoMission.Church, our marriage, the move to Argentina and all that comes after that!
