Preparing for a mission is daunting. The language, the culture, the people - everything is so different from what we think we know. But during our preparations for our twenty-six years in Brazil, God built our faith because He was always greater than any of our perceived barriers.
This little book is about our journey, our recollections of our preparation and progress to the mission field. We faced many challenges, from raising support to learning a new language. We struggled with doubts and fears and separation from family and friends, but God's capable support and love always overshadowed them. Even though, at times, we doubted that he was paying attention.
I hope to inspire others who feel called to the mission field. I want to share our experiences and lessons learned to encourage others to take the steps of faith and trust in God's plan for their lives. Finally, I hope our recollections will serve as a guide, a source of comfort and inspiration for those who choose to embark on a similar journey.
