Nearly two years ago, a friend, Ruby Johnston, asked me to view some videos of their work overseas. In that short period of time, I knew then what we will be shortly experiencing. We are to go there.
In April, we will leave for a six month mision trip to Tokmok, Kyrgyzstan. We have been asked a number of times, why are are going.
We go to Kyrgyzstan to walk alongside others who have been called to minister there. We hope to build relationships with those in ministry and with those caring specifically to meet the overwhelming needs of children and families.
David will serve as LAMb International’s Director of Central Asia working with church leaders, developing university programs and working with leaders at Mercy Foundation in Tokmok. He also looks forward to doing personal healing work with those God sends our way.
Jayne will be working to develop Adopt Kyrgyzstan, with the goal of finding loving and permanent families for children within the country. She also will be partnering with child welfare professionals and orphanage caregivers supporting, teaching and encouraging them in the very difficult work they do.
We have asked ourselves a very important question – why wouldn’t we go? We feel God has called us to this particular place and at this particular time. Simply put, we want to go there. We want to meet the people. We want to learn their names. We want listen to their stories and most of all, we want to love them and by doing so, share Christ’s love.
We will be joining the mission team of LAMb International. Founders, Lynn and Ruby Johnston have had the privilege of ministering in many countries. For information about LAMb International and their work visit their website - http://www.lambinternational.org/
