#2 How did you make the decision to go?

We have certainly put a lot of time and prayer into the decision to move to Mozambique, but one conversation changed everything. We had been discussing the possibility of moving to Africa one day after our kids had all graduated from high school and moved out of the house.

Then we had a conversation with our friends who are missionaries in Guinea (West Africa). After we had told them that we thought God wanted us to work in Africa one day after our kids had left the house, they threw down a challenge: why do you think God is comfortable waiting for your kids to graduate high school while his people need you in Africa right now? We didn’t really have an answer to that.
