THE STORY - How It All Began
Shane, Sarah,
& Simi
"Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty." Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:5-8 NIV)

This is the call and response that we have chosen to make our reality. We have decided to be available to go where He will send us. As a result, we have accepted the opportunity to serve with Sarah's parents at a Christian school in Israel! Shane serves as the high school Principal (as well as teaching 1 or 2 classes) and Sarah serves as the Kindergarten & 1st grade Principal while also providing counseling services to some of the students, and Simi attends the preschool on the same campus.
Although this came together really quickly—literally in about 4 days, the Lord has been working this out for some time now. Sarah grew up overseas and has always had a desire to live and work among people from various cultures. From Shane's first volunteer trip in high school through his senior year at Wheaton College, he has been feeling a call to serve overseas. In 2002, Shane started to talk with people concerning different ways to be involved. Shortly before the New Year in 2008 and much more during the months of late February into March, we felt the prompting of the Spirit to be ready to "go to a land I will show you." Read more . . .
