Welcome to the Family

A few days ago Ginny one of my Mobilization teammates described the missionary community as a slice of heaven. She was referring to the sense of community, of family that the Grand Cause instills.

We did family today. We did family as our far flung strategic planning team sat connected to a "virtual whiteboard" and tried to discern where God is taking WHM. We did family at our staff prayer meeting today as we listened to Dorothy tell us about how her dog led her to a deep friendship with a Czech woman who needs to find God. We did family as we celebrated Liz's impending marriage to Ted with food, stories and laughter. We did family today when a pastor and I agreed to help a young woman pursue her dream of spending the summer doing ministry in Vienna.

We did family today because the Father is bringing His kids together from every nation under heaven. We are just helping file the adoption papers.
