#048: Adopted to Serve
“I wasn’t in a good place when Jesus began pursuing me, and I didn’t want to be a part of His family, but He didn’t stop pursuing me.”
Jon and Ben felt convicted by the Spirit to serve in the foster care system, but as two single men, they weren’t sure what role they could play. With the Lord’s leading, they enacted a plan to start a Parents’ Night Out program on a monthly basis to give parents an opportunity to have a night to themselves.
Developing the Parents’ Night Out has been hard, and its growth has been stalled along the way. But with the support of their Missional Community, and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God is using Jon and Ben to serve foster families.

#047: How Are They to Hear?
"That would have never happened if God had not developed these relationships. Absolutely, hands down, no way."When Ben and Jessica decided to be Goers, they looked for an unreached Muslim community with which to share the grace and love of Jesus. They could have never imagined the remote island where they would end up or the pizza restaurant the community would help them build.
Though at times they are overwhelmed with loneliness as the only believers they know, they have faith that God has put them there for a reason.
