Along with their four TCKs (Third Culture Kids)\, walking in step with the call of the great commission has brought life’s greatest adventures – from remote highlands of the Serengeti to Chinese megacities to the suburbs of Minnesota. Sometimes it’s harvesting\, sometimes it’s planting\, sometimes it’s pulling stumps and rocks out of the field to prepare and WAIT for the next thing. \nIs obedience to God’s call hard or easy? How do you persevere in ministry when reality does not meet your expectations? Is it possible to survive for eight years by collecting rainwater? What do you do when your one-year-old is run over by an ostrich? \nJoin us to hear about Jim and Joann’s journey and lessons learned along the way. \n12:20-12:45 light lunch\n12:45-1:45 STG Session \n\nOpen to male and female (no age limit).\nForeign passport holders only.\n\nInterested? Sign up with ushers after service or contact Inga. \n\nYOUR CONTACT\n[vc_row]\n[vc_column width=”1/3″]\n\n\nInga Adolfo-Hu \n[/vc_column]\n[vc_column width=”2/3″]\nHospitality and Stories to Grow Coordinator – Steering Committee\n\nInga is from Philippines.
