Engage Missions
During my time in Springfield, MO I ran into a missionary I have worked with in the past named Steve Shoop. Steve is located in Guadalajara, Mexico and is doing an incredible job. He was a wonderful individual to work with, and now I get to extend that working relationship.
Steve has pioneered a program called
Engage Missions. This is a program designed to connect AG kids on the mission field before or during their college career. In the months ahead Engage will be partnered with most AG schools, and can work with any accredited institution. The basic concept is that a student gains missions experience, takes online classes, and has the opportunity to attend a university in another country. The student would not lose time in their educational process, but would be gaining experience in ministry. It is ideal for students pursuing a full time call of God, or a student who wants to serve for a year in their college years before hitting the workforce.We are going to be a host site in the Fall of 09 and we are really excited about it. Not only will it allow us to accelerate what we are doing in Greece, but it will allow us to invest in the next generation. We will have a part in forming lives who will then go back home to the states and continue to serve. You will hear more about this opportunity in the months ahead....
