How life on mission started….
When living fulltime in a RV was just a dream in my head, all I thought about was traveling around the country with my family. It wasn’t until a few months before our launch date that both Frank and I had a strong sense of a different purpose. Suddenly both of us felt as if God was asking more of us. The pull to serve others along the way weighed heavily on our hearts. There was no clear direction on what ministry on the road would look like when we left on the journey. As my husband often says “We couldn’t just sit around the campfire and roast marshmellows for the rest of our lives”. Leaning and trusting that theLord would guide our way and light our path (thus the name of our blog). Just going with the wind of faith, opportunities have come our way. Over the course of the last year and a half, the Lord has been faithful. He has provided us many opportunities to serve others for His glory. He has given us both small, simple divine appointments in campgrounds and opportunities to serve on a larger more organized scale as well.
Since our launch, we have had opportunities to serve at some amazing ministries : KidGrow Quest, The Rhodeheaver Boys Ranch in FL, GAiN (Global Aid International Network) in PA, Apollo Beach Feed the Hungry in FL, Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child, Old Mission in AZ, Jacob’s Well in CA and several projects through Gates of Hope Ministries out of FL.
Our less planned, but no less amazing encounters have mostly occurred in campgrounds and small communities around the USA. We have been able to assist fellow RV’ers with demolition and construction projects, awning issues, water damage, appliance issues, and flooring. In communities, we have been able to serve at farms, mucking stalls, gardening, cleaning homes, grocery shopping and cooking.
The United States is simply chock full of some of the most spirit led, amazing and giving people. People who love and give unconditionally, as Christ has loved us. There are so many stories that I am bursting at the seams to tell you about. Over the next few months I will be highlighting all the ministries and amazing people that have we have experienced all the way.
God has recently pressed an additional mission on my heart. I will start to highlight each ministry we encounter across this great country, for the sake of that ministry. I desire to share the amazing things people are doing in the name of Jesus around the country. As the writing and sharing develops, an easy access map with ministry details will be available on this site as search point for others who desire to serve on the road.
Do you have any ministries that you would like to share with us? Let us know in the comments! We would love to put them on our list of places to visit!
