The Vision

Welcome, Friends, to the launch of our blog

Krebs in France

 

After many years of supporting missionaries financially, we find ourselves in an astounding position. In May 2011, the Lord revealed His plan to place us on a foreign mission field.

 

Though we've worked hard to prepare for this amazing change in our lives, it sometimes still feels like a dream. Maybe that's why I'm drawn to this picture of the Eiffel Tower at night. It's dreamy.

 

But wait.  I'm awake. I remember, and Doc corroborates the story. We were invited by workers in France to come to intercede for them. We laughed, then remembered Sarah (aka Mrs. Abraham). Then we read Radical by David Platt, and Why Pray? by John DeVries. We actually traveled to France in October-November 2011, visiting fellow missionaries and praying with them. We spent hours on the application process for Greater Europe Mission.  We attended their week-long orientation, and they appointed and commissioned us on February 24, 2012.

 

We sold our home in May, 2012, along with two-thirds of our possessions. We packed the last third into a storage unit, with France in mind. We moved into a spacious, beautifully furnished daylight basement. We've attended online classes about missions, and "skyped" with our colleagues on the field and still in the U.S. We're scheduling appointments with prospective prayer and financial partners, sharing the vision God has given us for His work in France.

 

Yes.  That's what it is.  Not a dream, but a vision.  "Without a vision, the people perish."
