meet the team

Three rooms, one bathroom, eight children, and their mom and dad.

Meet the Perry family, one of the only Christian families shining their light in this community. Watching them love each other as themselves without any trace of sibling rivalry made me question how my brother and I treat each other. They stuck together as one team. The kids are all home schooled and it amazed me at how willing they were to learn new material. Their precious four year old daughter has the whole chapter of Luke 24 memorized.

I see the outcome of good parenting. I see the outcome of a service oriented family.

Just observing how they moved from Germany to America, always serving the Lord wherever they went. It is incredible!

Meet the mission team I am working with this week, a fantastic group of people seeking God together.

Our purpose is to love as Jesus loved. We came together so that God would smile. We all come from different backgrounds and different places but somehow, all of us ended up in the same town gathered around the same piano singing praise to God as we plan the mission-oriented week ahead. 

The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Luke 10: 2,4 (pieces of it put together)

All of our eyes are opened at how intrigued they are with God and why we live and act the way we do. One of the girls told me they expected a lot of classy white people who liked to eat with their pinkies in the air. As soon as she saw me eat my fried chicken, she told me I was ghetto and I fit in perfectly. 

It is culture shock. There is so much violence and anger down here. The guys treat the girls as if they are not a real person at all. The mission team has been loving on these kids like crazy.

Making a difference in this community means the world to me.
