Here’s the latest update from The Teeters
| Hello Friends and Family! In the past couple of years, the Lord has been growing a passion in my heart to see MK’s (Missionary Kids) love the Lord and to be equipped for Kingdom work! All too often, these kids and teens are left to their own devices when managing transition and the pains of cultural adjustments, on top of just developing as an individual. My desire is to come alongside them in discipleship and equip them to be Christ followers who disciple others. With that in mind… I am so excited to be going on mission this summer with CRU to work alongside MKs! The team I will be joining is called MK2MK and it’s a group of college age MKs who have a heart to see the younger generation of MKs discipled and trained for Kingdom work. The Goal is for the college age MKs who are being discipled to come alongside our high school age MKs, and live out 1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” My desire for the MKs I work with is that they develop a deeper passion for missions and see discipleship as a crucial part of mature Christian life! Dates: May 20th to July 28th Place: Orlando and South Africa Organization: Campus Crusade For Christ (CRU) |
| My time this summer is broken up into two phases: |
| PHASE ONE: Team meets in Orlando at the CRU Headquarters for 3-4 weeks. The aim is to allow us as adult MKs to first reflect on our stories. This process is meant to help us see where God has been at work in our own stories so that we can be equipped to walk alongside the MKs as we help them see God in their own stories. A second aspect of the training in Orlando is to develop specific ministry skills we will use during outreach, such as discipleship, leading groups, and evangelism. PHASE TWO: Our team will prepare to receive the MKs we will be working alongside! This is a unique program where instead of going to minister to MKs, we will actually be serving alongside them! The high school MKs like us have raised their own support to join the team. They already have a call to ministry and are desiring to grow in their faith and trust in the Lord. A majority of this new team will be traveling to South Africa to do mission work while others will be going to Colorado. The team in South Africa will support the local church with various ministries and begin Gospel centered conversations in the community. The team in Colorado will be equipping families who are about to go through massive amounts of culture shock, transition, and change. Our heart is to see them prepared for the challenges of leaving and entering into a new environment. |
