I am so proud of our son Matthew. He is taking a leap of faith and going to become a missionary! Not any missionary but a Cadence International Missionary Click on link to watch a video about Cadence.
He has moved out to Colorado to shadow the director of Children's Ministries. He will complete a year of Bible college and intern at local churches children's programs. He will travel to see first hand how Cadence ministers to military children.
Matthew grew up as a military child. Moving every few years, watching his father leave for long periods of time and having to make new friends all the time. This is a rough life for little kids. He was fortunate to be ministered to by Military Children's Milinistries. (CEF at the time) They ran VBS's, Bible studies, retreats, mission trips, holiday parties..... for families and children.
Cadence missionaries work with the post Chaplins to help meet the spiritual needs of the military families.
Matthew feels drawn to this ministry because of his personal experience with military minitries.
Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there. Matthew 19:14-15
Be in prayer as he begins his studies and training. He will also have to raise his own support before he can go out into the field. If you would be interested in recieving updates let me know.
Thanks for stopping by...........
What an amazing young man! He will bring joy and comfort to so many lives! God bless him on his journey!
