Liz and I are committed first and foremost to continually seeking and following where God is leading us as a family and as His children. As we serve with EMICanada, we are encouraged by God's word in Ephesians 2:10:
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do"
We are excited to be doing this through EMI, designing a world of hope for the physically and spiritually poor.
In our fundraising, we are reminded constantly of God's words in Psalms 127:1-2:
"If God doesn't build the house, the builders only build shacks.
If God doesn't guard the city, the night watchman might as well nap."
Our support comes from God, through many of the people he has placed in our lives. We ask those who are part of our team to give to God, not to us - just as we are provided for by God, not those who give. If our support is built without God, it will crumble like a shack from any hardships we face.
We also believe that our supporters are part of our ministry with us. While we believe and know God provides for us through them, we are extremely grateful for their generosity, encouragement and commitment. We have some of the best people in the world supporting us, praying for us and providing excellent examples of Christ-centred living. God has called some amazing people to our community of supporters.
