We have been sitting back and praying and asking God "Where?" You see I know that God has called us to serve...there has NEVER been a question in our minds about that. But when we planned to go to Guatemala it just seemed to make sense since part of our family was serving there. Besides...it was all we knew. We had gone on missions trips there and there is a huge need. Doors kept closing, uneasy feelings were nagging away at us and we were not completely at peace with how we fit into the picture.
So we surrendered our thoughts, our ideas, our wants and we prayed and we prayed and of course, we prayed some more. Now we are so excited to have opportunity to visit a ministry that we fell in love with after reading about, skyping and emailing back and forth with. It's called Go MAD Ministries (which is really kind of funny considering the title of this blog. :)) It is in the Dominican Republic. We are going to visit them in the beginning of January. We are blown away by how every single detail is falling into place. We know how and where we want to serve and then I'm sure we will get there and that will all change...haha! But we are excited, we are willing and we are ready to Go MAD (Make a Difference).
Now...this is not a done deal. The co-founders have got to fall in love with us in person! :) So feel free to leave a comment on here about how great we are! LOL!! No really....I'm serious. :)
Please check out Go MAD's website at: www.gomadministries.org to see how they are helping the desperate young women not even begin or turn away from a life of prostitution. They fight against Human Exploitation with teaching of God's love and teaching skills they can use to get other jobs. They have 2 schools, a safe house for women and a medical clinic for children.
I can't wait to see how God plays this all out, this chapter in my life. Will we be serving in the DR? What kind of difference can my family make on these beautiful people?
Praying for you!
