This year our family is going to be involved with the Families on Mission program through the North American Mission Board. We will be working together all week as a family doing all kinds of block parties, light construction, visitation, VBS, and work with the Cherokee Indian Reservation. We are so excited to be a part of this amazing program.
NAMB launched this program last year and with Jay's hectic schedule during the summer, we weren't able to be a part of it. We were disappointed then, but now we are thrilled to be a part of a missions trip that is strategically aimed at families ministering together. They allow children as young as 5 years old to come and they provide a place where families can reach out together! The location is only about 2 1/2 hours from our home so the drive won't be that bad either.
Missions has always been a big part of our family life, but most of the time the trips were geared for Jay and I. So, this year our desire was to have a mission trip where we could work together as a family and mentor our children in missions. They provide a motel room for us to stay together, all our meals, worship times as a large group, training for parents and children, and family devotion times every evening to reconnect together. We couldn't be more excited!
If you or your family is interested in Families on Mission, you can check out the NAMB site at www.namb.net for more information. It's exciting to have a place in ministry for the family together...we can't wait!
