As my first post here at Joyfully His, I thought I would share a little about what has been
going on in my life and exactly why I started my blog.
The last few months have been occupied with finishing the children's school, church
activities and settling our newest addition, Simeon, into the family. There is never a dull moment around the Anter home!
It is very exciting for me to share with everyone how the Lord is working in my life right
now. As man of you know, I have struggled to find direction for my life over the past few months. I have been praying for God to open up ways for me to serve Him. There have been many opportunities for me to serve in our community, and recently a door has been opened for me to serve in D. R. Congo.
This all began in 2005 when my mom, Danielle, met missionary Christine Grings on her
return trip home from Liberia. Mrs. Grings helped my mom through the Brussels airport with my sisters. They have kept in contact since that eventful day. Last summer, the Grings Family came for a visit. I was inspired by their mission and testimonies. Since my younger years, I have always had a heart for missions abroad. When the Grings family left, they included an invitation for anyone in our family to come to Congo and help spread the Gospel. I never imagined that I would later take them up on it!
There have been many opportunities for me to serve, but it seemed as quickly as they came up; the door would close. The first conversation I had with Mrs. Grings amazed
me. They were looking for someone just like me to help the Clancy Family in the mission field. It seemed like the Lord has just opened a new door!
I have been praying about if it is Jesus' will for me to go to the interior of the D. R.
Congo. As time has went on, everything has seemed to fall into place. They need someone to help with homeschooling their three children, canning and chicken
butchering. That's me! The person must have a heart to share the Gospel and
compassion for people. That's me! They are looking for someone that can handle rice and beans and living simply. That's me too! I feel that all along the Lord has been preparing me.
In Congo, I will also be helping with the Bible Institute in many different ways. My stay
will be in the interior which is a two day drive from the nearest city. There will be no running water or electricity. Aside from an actual structured building for a house, I will be living like the natives. I believe this will be an asset to reaching out to the people there.
My departure is August 8th, 2014. I will be in the D. R. Congo for six months.
Will you pray for me?
Please pray:
~That the Lord Jesus would help me to have a heart to serve and be effective.
~That Jesus would guide me and protect me. Keep me safe and healthy.
~That I could be a blessing to the Clancy family (the family that I will be helping and living with)
~That the Lord would bring the funds necessary to support my mission as I work.
I do not know exactly what kind of internet access I will have while I am in the Congo,
but I hope to keep you all up to date through this blog, a journal of sorts :) I plan on sharing plenty of pictures!
