a faith-building adventure

This past week, Jeff and I moved into a darling little trailer house in the small town of Guys Mills in Pennsylvania.  We are planning to live here for two years while attending school at Faith Builders Training Institute.  The opportunity we see to grow and learn at FB is so attractive, and after much thought and prayer we are convinced that this experience is right for us.

I have been involved in our local children's ministry for the past three years now, and when Jeff and I were thinking about our life together, we knew intentional ministry would be a part of our journey.  The past nine months of marriage have offered many new and exciting opportunities to get involved in children's lives and allow them to be involved in ours.  But thinking and dreaming about what might lie ahead for us leaves us feeling unprepared and inadequate.  That's when the idea of studying at Faith Builders came up.

Our track of study at Faith Builders is Christian Ministries.  Jeff is planning to study full-time and graduate, and I hope to support him in every way I can, possibly also auditing some of his classes.
"The Christian Ministries track is designed to prepare students to return to their home communities prepared to serve with both zeal and vision as well as to move on to specialized areas of service in other parts of the world." (Read more here.)
We are excited to dive into this new adventure!  Follow along here on the blog for updates and more information.
