A Missionary's Testimony

After ten years in full time missions (beginning as a young couple and along the way being blessed with three children), we reached a point in our lives where we could no longer continue in ministry doing things the way we had. As a missionary, husband and father, I had come to a place of deep frustration with the multiple demands from all sides and the impossibility to fulfill all of them. We had to come to a halt and needed to gain new perspective for our lives.

We had the privilege of attending a Train to Reign program at CTCI in Franklin. Thanks to the personal investment of the leaders and staff as well as the peaceful setting of the place, our lives were transformed in many ways.

As a husband and father I learned what my priorities are and I got a revelation that these roles are a major part of my calling. Also that I can expect God to do everything possible to help me be successful in those areas, something I had almost given up on. I learned to understand what the covenant of marriage really is and the depth of God's commitment to it. To understand that marriage and family is a ministry and part of the calling brought a tremendous release and a new freedom to really enjoy those areas!

As a family we learned to have a peaceful atmosphere in the house or wherever we go! Mealtimes are times of rest and fellowship. Our children are always excited when we celebrate communion together, something we have learned and enjoyed regularly at CTCI. We are still reaping the fruit of this time and are able to fully enjoy each other.
