The Beauty in Shared Mission

The Beauty in Shared Mission

In case you missed it, I posted about unity within the Christian church at Gospel-Centered Discipleship last week: “Wait, you’re telling me there is only one church we can attend in the whole country? I mean, like the whole entire country?” I’ve never been one to dance around a topic. “Of course not,” the new […]

The crazy stuff God can do with our YES

December 3, 2014 By Wendy Willard · Leave a Comment ·

It was four years ago that we first felt God asking us to move to Nicaragua. We thought it to be a pretty crazy ask. In fact, it took us two months to share it with close friends (who ended up joining us!) and six more months before we dared announce it publicly. For a […]

The beginning of the end

Love this little boy!

It absolutely surprised me. I said good-bye to the last adopting family to live with us and suddenly was overcome with emotion. What is going on? I haven’t cried like this since the very first family left us two years ago! On that morning, I sat in the hammock holding the infant boy who had […]

Trusting God with What’s MINE

While we knew the arrangement was temporary, it allowed us to start fundraising and for that we were so grateful. About a month ago, the director of that organization contacted us to say they […]

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.

We haven’t even moved back to the States yet and it’s already happened. I told God he wasn’t allowed to move me back to the U.S. until I was ready to do so without falling back into my old ways. So when he gave us the green light to relocate back to our passport country […]

The Gift of Transportation

Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible -Matthew 19:26

We first shared the news of the recent changes with our existing donors and prayer supporters of FIT Nicaragua. Shortly after sending out that message, we received a one-time donation of $5000. At first I thought it must be a mistake! (I even wrote to the donor and asked.) But it wasn’t… And what we […]

This goodness—the idea that God is incapable of anything that is not inherently good—should be a life vest wrapped around my every word, thought, and deed. Yet, the idea, “this isn’t right” feels like an undercurrent always capable of pulling me into the depths of despair.
