Hi friends! Thank you for taking the time to come to our page! If you’re here, we expect that you have some level of familiarity with us. If you’re new, welcome! The same goes for you. :)
From the beginning of the world, the Lord has been writing His story and He chooses which characters interact when. He knows the narrative patterns that arise from the coming together of previously separate themes, and He decided that our stories were meant to join together in April of 2024. In our curiosity, we asked Him why that was. We believe His response includes an invitation into an adventure that will last our lifetimes.
We think He has communicated that He desires for us to explore our identities as His beloved children. A big part of this identity involves walking alongside other beloved brothers and sisters and encouraging them towards their unique identities and the call that the Lord has given them. We believe He desires to show us what this looks like both locally and globally and that He intends to show us how these different scopes are meant to be connected across His Body. As we have waited on Him, we think He has ushered us into a season where He wants us to operate relationally instead of organizationally. Practically, that means that Sara is no longer on staff with YWAM Kansas City and All.America, and Jonathan is no longer on staff with Unite DFW to allow for greater flexibility to engage with other individuals and organizations.
You may be wondering, “So what does that mean that you’re going to be doing?” Well, we hope that part of that may be investing intentionally in our relationships with you, but we expect that it will look different for different seasons. God has facilitated connections between us and brothers and sisters in many different countries, and we plan to invest in those relationships as well as those that fall within the US. The “where” may change, but, until God tells us otherwise, the “what” will not. We are pursuing God and pursuing our brothers and sisters until He brings us Home or brings Home here.
Another potential question from you may be, “So what are you asking for from me?” Allow us to reframe that question. We don’t want anything from you. We want something for you. We want you to be seeking the Lord and following Him with us. We don’t need your money. God will provide for us whether anyone is a part of our “support team” or not.
We believe that pursuing and asking Him what He would like for you to be involved in will involve some level of overlap between you and the people He has already connected you with. If He highlights us to you, He may want you to support us financially, pray for us, spend regular time with us, or do something else. We aren’t trying to direct you in any specific direction besides towards God.
Whatever that looks like, we want to support and encourage you to say yes to Him and to walk the path that He has set before you. For our part, we believe that God is bringing together a team around us that will pray and support us financially, and we are seeking to be obedient to Him when He highlights someone to approach. If you believe that God is asking you to be a part of that team, please reach out to us. We want to talk and pray through that decision with you. If you have any questions about this process, reach out to us. We are honored to be seeking the Lord alongside you.
We love you!
Jonathan & Sara
