There was a call in our hearts to missions, and specifically we had felt God lead us to the Iris Harvest Mission School.  So January this year we resolved to prepare, June we applied, and this month (July) we received this email:

Tears ran down our faces as we both stared at the offer.  No, we are not that emotional normally – this was just more than being accepted into a school.  It was solidifying a sense of call and direction in our lives that ran deep in our hearts.  In holy fear, we realise that this to be a significant step in our already exciting journey in God.

The school runs from October – December and a range of extended outreach options are offered at the completion of the school, bringing the experience into the new year.

So, humbled by His love and faithfulness, we are preparing for this chapter in our journey of faith and with His grace we plan on running well 🙂

 

Philippians 2:12-13

¹² Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; ¹³ for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
