When God Calls

We are Getting Out of the Boat

Headed for Bahamas Methodist Habitat

Linda, David and BMH Executive, Abraham McIntyre - Jan. 2014

We are so excited to share what God is doing in our lives!

Going in to mission work, as a volunteer, is an interesting call to hear and follow. It's one thing to do this at "20 something" when you are fresh out of school, and not much life luggage taking up space. Our story is a little different. We've had much to do and plan for to get us this far. God's put a multitude of situations, circumstances, thoughts, prayers, feelings and emotions into our lives to lead us in this direction.

Sort of like the fishermen who became disciples of Jesus when they immediately dropped their nets to follow.... we too are changing our lives to follow this call.

Bahamas Methodist Habitat is located on the island of Eleuthera a family island of the Bahamas.
They do disaster relief work, community outreach, and repair of substandard housing. BMH does this work by hosting volunteer work groups to come and serve for week long mission trips. We plan to work along side of those volunteers and the full time staff to help in hosting camps and serving in whatever tasks we are called to accomplish.

David and I have both discovered how faith building, faith inspiring and God honoring going on missions trips can be to your life. We can't wait to get started to help share in a ministry which leads people through the mission experience and service to others in need.

Before we can get there, we have to leave here...

We put our trust in God to complete the plans. Our house is for sale, we are packing boxes, and helping our young adult son, Mason, arrange to stay local.
Deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Simplifying our stuff. Waiting for God's timing

We plan to be ready to leave in January and we are asking other to support and prepare us to go.

We want to TAKE YOU WITH US ! Join us in the mission!

In simple terms, it will take 50 people to support us with $22 a month for 2 years.

$6,000 in donations and pledges is our goal to meet before we leave.

For the full two years it will take about $26,000 (minimum) and that seems so huge.
We like to think of it in realistic small steps.

It's going to take support of our friends, family and church to help us reach the goal.
This is the hardest thing we have done so far in life. (Raising Mason has been a close second!)

We want to share with you the Beauty of the Island and the Beauty of the People we encounter.
We'll need your prayers and your encouragement.

Donation arrangements will be posted soon. We'll set a place for your tax free donations to go to support us on our mission.
Consider a one time donation OR arrange for a monthly online deposit.
(do not send funds directly to us - they will not be tax deductible)
