We are a couple who deeply love the Lord & are on a journey towards lifelong medical missions work. We were both raised on the foreign field, and our families are both still involved in Kingdom work in Africa & Asia.
We both came to the U.S. for higher education, and God surprised us with a longer road than we originally expected...He called Joel into medicine in his first year of college - a long path, to say the least! He will graduate from medical school in May of 2010, and then residency...
This blog exists to tell the stories of our everyday lives on a path back to the missions field. It is a long road ahead, not without it's diversions, but we are determined to keep our faces set "like flint" on His high calling.
Join us in our journey....
There, and back again.
