The meaning of home assignment is:
- A time of mobilization, connection, reconnection, rest, and revitalizing.
- A time to hug family and friends and talk about things you don’t mention in the newsletters.
- A time to share meals of reconnection with supporters.
- A time to travel to preach, teach and share in reconnection with churches and small groups that support the ministry.
- A time for making new connections with churches, organizations, and people interested in a partnership.
- A time to raise financial support to try and keep up with price inflation.
- A time of condensing years of work and experiences into short presentations or even shorter updates to respect the time of those needing a quick version.
- A time to adjust to others’ climates, time zones and schedules.
- For those with children, it is a time to comfort them as they try to sleep in strange places.
- A time to be vulnerable as you share your passion.
- A mental break from the daily responsibility grind.
- A time to step back and allow God to minister to your heart through others and revitalize your calling.
The list is partial. We often get asked how our “vacation” was after returning to the field, to which we usually respond with a smile and a polite “It was good”, understanding that they don’t realize the work involved and how it flew by so fast from the busyness. The process is heart-filling and yet difficult at the same time.
Christopher and Denise Meyer, with their young sons, are experiencing home assignment. A much-needed part of their time will be spent with Christopher’s parents as his mother continues her fight against cancer (pictures below). Pray for their time to be a blessing for each of them.
Also, they need to increase their funding by $1,000.00 a month to help support their work in Macapa with two churches and missionary leadership obligations.
YOU CAN HELP!
- Pray for them.
- Ask them about their life and ministry.
- Partner with them. No amount is too big or too small.
- Bless them!
Contact Christopher at his temporary U.S. number, 614-857-5874.
Thank you for being a blessing!
