We are not, what some would call, the “typical Christian”. We don’t like religion, but we value a deep and genuine relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and if people are willing to listen we’ll tell them about Him.
But I have to be honest these people are a bunch of weirdos that really don’t care what people think of them. They love Jesus with all their hearts and are willing to be fools for him. They are willing to walk up to a random person and talk with him/her and offer prayer if needed. They are willing to give up their pride in order to hopefully touch the heart of someone that is hurting. They are willing to sell their personal possessions, leave their families and live out of a backpack for 11 months.
These are my brothers and sisters that are willing to live in tents and bamboo huts to serve the people of India and Nepal.
These are my brothers and sisters who braved through sickness such as, malaria, typhoid and parasites.
yes, at times we drive each other crazy or we with hold the truth from each other, such as pretending to have a broken AC unit in India when, in fact, it actually worked.
Let me just tell you this, we all have gone a little crazy on the race. We bargain like crazy (even if it means we get only $0.50 off), we talk about our bowel movements without hesitation, we get overly excited when wi-fi is mentioned, we wear the same sweaty smelly clothes for 4 days in a row ( more for some), we bicker and argue, but then forgive and love each other all over again, we stretch each other, we give each other wet willies, we’ve learned that the best way to kill time is to play pranks on each other (second to reading the bible of course ;p), we tell it like it is, we receive constructive criticism (some more gracefully than others lol) and we have discovered that there is more to life…more than what we see and what we desire.
We have a purpose. We are all destined to do great things, to expand the kingdom of God. I love my dysFUNctional BEAUTIFUL Family!
