Marriage on a Mission

Touched down in Athens after a 9-hour flight. We have our first “official” memory forever engrained in our minds: the taxi ride from the airport to our hotel! Oh my! Need to rest from that, even more than from the long flight and time difference!

Landed in New Jersey and greeted with many e-mails, scriptures, and comments of encouragement. Preparing our hearts and bodies for the 9-hour flight to Athens. Already had a chance to share a bit with the clerk at Continental. May there be many more Divine connections!

Throughout God’s Word, there is overwhelming evidence of symbols as reminders of God’s truth, His presence, His power, and His love for His people. Several days ago, we received pendants from a dear friend…reminders to be “strong and courageous” for God is with us WHEREVER we go! The adventure begins today!

Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do amazing things among you.” Joshua 3:5

It is the eve prior to our departure for the Holy Land. This passage from Joshua reminds us to prepare our hearts for the amazing things that GOD will do, not the amazing things WE will do. The word, “consecrate” is defined as “the devoting or setting apart of anything to the worship or service of God.” Oh, God, set us apart to do Your bidding. It is the cry of our hearts to worship You in every moment of our upcoming mission! Be glorified!

When God miraculously reconciled our marriage after an eleven-year divorce and a distance of over 3,000 coast-to-coast miles, we understood a vital truth that we completely overlooked the first time around:

God has a mission for every marriage.

Discovering God’s mission for your marriage is not a program. It’s a process…a counter-culture lifestyle of faith that is ultimately set in motion when, as husbands and wives, we voluntarily and intentionally choose to pursue God together, above everyone and everything else…come what may.

So, what is the Marriage on a Mission experience? To watch our informational video, click here. Simply stated, we’re taking our marriage on a short-term mission to the Holy Land, to help couples discover God’s mission for their marriage.

As marriage missionaries, we’ve been on some wild adventures, but the Marriage on a Mission experience promises to be unprecedented. As with any epic journey, there are many things we’re unsure of and, quite frankly, we know it’s supposed to be that way. Here is what we do know:

• WE WILL capture this short-term mission on video; a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Athens, Corinth, and several other surrounding cities from February 13-28, 2011.

• WE WILL need a prayer team to participate with us in the days prior to, during, and after this journey is complete.

• WE WILL help other couples discover God’s mission for their marriages by making Marriage on a Mission available via workbook and DVD, as a follow-up to our Marriage on the Mend book and workbook.

• WE WILL proclaim that God is faithful and that He will fill in all the details and financial provision we need at just the right time.

• WE WILL take this step of faith; banking every risk on the security of God’s unchanging Word.

“This is my command–be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9
