The following is a picture of my fabulous WR family.  We are team Ripple Effect.  To us this is more than a name, but a representation of our vision as missionaries.  We believe that we are part of a generation that will bring hope to the nations.  But we see our generation as the starting point of a multi-generational movement.  Just like the ripple effect that takes place after a stone is thrown into water, we want to be the start of something that continues to grow for generations!  We were also inspired by 1 Cor. 3:5-10…
 
“6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything but only God who gives the growth.  […]  10 According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building upon it.  Let each one take care how he builds upon it.”
I think it’s a beautiful idea that we each play an integral role in the sharing of the Gospel.  It is team Ripple Effects’ hope that we will plant a seed, lay a foundation, and one day that foundation will be built upon by the generations to follow.
