Sorry to put a password on this, but we want to maintain some confidentiality on this blog. Here’s our latest:
I (Rob) have recently started working with a refugee resettlement agency near where we live here in Dallas. My days are full of languages, colors, smells, misunderstandings, and occasional success stories with “new Americans.” Refugees are sanctioned and cleared by our State Dept. to come from UN camps. They are not immigrants. The are fleeing from harsh persecution from Bhutan, Burma, Iraq, Somalia, and many more countries. Many are rescued out of sex slavery and sent to America through our office. It’s challenging work that requires emotional and physical endurance, but in my opinion more than anything requires the assistance of the local Church. This excites me.
This will be a good fit for the time being. I still help my dad with ARM Ministries as it seems to be growing out of control. What to do with the growth? We’re not sure and are seeking the Lord on direction as we need more and more funding to run the home office. We are committed to not paying ourselves out of our missionaries’ support and want to maintain that as long as possible. We are very involved at Church and are so happy to live 5 blocks away, and I am able to lead worship often. I’m still making music, as well as roasting and selling directly traded coffee coming from direct connections around the world.
Do we long to be overseas again? You better believe it. We’re not sure how that will look yet. Bosnia took its toll on our family, and we want to carefully choose our next location. I’m also looking for a more tangible means of existence on the field, especially if we go to another country where ministry is highly prohibitive.
Thanks for all of your prayers and support over the years. Your partnership enables us to be working for Christ’s kingdom and we are so blessed by your encouragement. Thank you!
