The timeline for Chris and Rose's mission adventure started long ago. Even before they started dating, they both spent time overseas in missions. Chris spent a year in China, teaching English as a second language. Rose spent a summer in the Czech Republic with her aunt and uncle who were serving there.
Over the years they have traveled on various mission trips to Mexico and Guatemala, leading their church youth group on short term mission trips. More recently, they felt a stronger call to full-time missions.
In August of 2010, Chris made the announcement that he and Rose were feeling the call to serve the Lord in missions. After much prayer and seeking what the Lord would have for them, they started the journey with Rosedale Mennonite Missions. However, after interviews and discussions they felt it wasn't the right "fit". They wanted to be able to use their medical skills and background to help others as they spread the gospel.
In February 2011 they first spoke with Eastern Mennonite Missions about a possible assignment in Cusco, Peru. How exciting to find a mission that involved medicine, church planting, and a mission school.
Fast forward past interviews, both skype and face-to-face, and they have been officially appointed to serve in Cusco, Peru. The plan is to go to language school in Costa Rica in August of 2012. Therefore, the task at hand presently is to raise funds. Chris and Rose must raise funds for at least the first two years of service prior to leaving the states.
