We are going to be FULL TIME MISSIONARIES with the Assemblies of God!
Where do I begin!!
Well first off.. a few weeks ago at district counsel I received my ordination from the Assemblies of God :) Me, an ordained Pastor with all I have done and been though in my life! A moment that I never thought in a million years would come to past!
A sweet moment! Just call me Reverend Pierce :) j/k
Well let me back up a little and explain how we got to this point in our lives....
Brandon and myself knew for years that we would one day be missionaries, we just didn't know the details of when, how, where, etc...So we just continued walking with God and seeing where He leads us. So 3 years ago God called us to Cincinnati, Ohio. While we were praying about the move God showed us that from Cincinnati we would go into the missions field and if we couldn't leave everything and move to Cincinnati how could we be missionaries overseas. We still didn't know the details we just went!
This is a picture of my amazing youth students who I have LOVED serving these last 3 years!
To continue...
Last year I started to plan a missions trip for my youth students. I felt like we needed to go somewhere other than Haiti this next year. So I started researching missionaries and places to go. During my search I had talked with every missionary and thought maybe we could go to one of those countries but I hadn't heard back from one missionary couple in particular. I felt like I needed to talk with them before I made my decision so I waited...(Had I been inpatient I might have missed our call)
Anyways, we heard back from the missionaries and felt like we should plan a youth missions trip with them. So we starts planning...
During this time I started researching the country where we were going and something in my spirit started stirring! I didn't say anything to Brandon because I thought he might think I was crazy lol But little did I know God was working in him too!!! He was feeling that same stirring that this country might just be the place God is calling us!!!!
To make a LONG story short...
Last October 2013 we decided to make the leap to move into full time missions! So since then we have seen God move in such amazing ways while this new adventure is unfolding......we have been approved through the Assemblies of God to be missionaries, I have been ordained, we have sold our house in Ohio, we have been offered a job on staff at CFA while we itinerate (huge blessing), and now we move back to North Carolina the first week of July to start this amazing calling God has for our family!!!
