For those of you who may not know, we have been planning/preparing for the mission field. Lord willing, we will be making the move to Sandy Bay, Jamaica! Which is nothing like what comes to most people's minds when they hear the word Jamaica. Sandy Bay is a place where little boys roam the streets, poverty is the norm, electricity and water come and go, and of course where it is always hot and humid (something I will definitely have to adjust to). However, the Lord has made it clear time and time again that is where He wants us, so that is where we shall go!
While we are there we will be working with Alpha Step Pre and Prep school throughout the week, along with making contacts in the community. What better place to start than with the children and their parents? I will be taking over the school's finances, Keith and I will be teaching a Bible class, possibly doing some after school mentoring and Keith will be helping with the upkeep of the facilities. Our ultimate goal will be to assist Michael and Karen Smith with a church plant. However, for the first year we are there we plan to attend Bay Life Baptist, (a new church plant in Montego Bay) and learn a little bit more about church planting from our wonderful friends the Titus'.
We are so excited to be able to announce that we now have a missionary agency assisting us!! World Outreach Ministries will be our stateside office. They will send tax deductible receipts to our supporters and facilitate Online donations to our account. So please make sure you direct all future support to their office and designate it for our account!
We are thrilled that we can now begin raising our support!
Please continue to pray for us as follows:
1. That we will raise our support in a timely manner (the Lord's timing of course!)
2. The Lord will continue to prepare us for the mission field
3. That we will adjust to the culture once we are there
4. That we will make contacts in Sandy Bay once we are there
5. Our friends the Smiths' who we will be partnering/living with, as they are also in the process of raising support
This is just a starting list! Please pray for us as the Spirit leads you to!
If any of you have questions about our plans please feel free to ask us! We love to talk about what we feel the Lord has called us to do! Thank you for your prayers and support! :) You can send us a message on facebook or email us at millerk8889@gmail.com.
God Bless! :)
