Yep… in about a month’s time.. Lil and I will be headed for our 1st MRT ‘ride’… =)
It’s ForeRunner’s Mongolia Resource Trip.
ForeRunner’s heartbeat has always been for the lost. However, recognizing that we cannot reach the world alone, we seek to equip, enhance and empower other like-minded music ministers and ministries to help them reach their target groups more effectively. This strategy, is in many ways, is like ForeRunner’s way of ‘Discipleship’, multiplying our efforts to help fulfill the Great Commission.
We’ve been invited to train and cast vision for the staff and graduating students who are very keen on starting a music ministry. Their National Director has recently given them a green light to officially start a music ministry.
Our goal there is to further inspire them with what we do in ForeRunner… share our experiences, success models, what has worked for us, what has not… conduct some training… share some resources… show them our materials.. do some consultations (answer their questions with regards to starting music ministry, philosophy of music ministry etc.) While we are there.. of course we hope to encourage them, pray for them, share lives with them.
Lil has been ‘itching’ for some action.. plus she’s got fond memories of our trip there in 2001 (when we took Josh then 3, and Emily then 7months). So I’m really glad that she can make this trip. Mom has kindly offered to take care of the 3 kids.. again, so that she can go freely to minister! =) We originally thot of bring Josh along.. but because of a recent asthma attack, and the cold temperatures.. (-15 degrees!!) we were advised by a family doctor not to.
Do pray for us as we prepare.. and as we trust God for the funding that we’ll need for this trip…
