Faith Journey goes to Malta!

Faith Journey 2015       We are going to Malta!

It is with great excitement that I share with you the announcement that our Faith Journey destination for 2015 is the nation of Malta! I will be boarding a plane with The Sweetheart in two short weeks! We are honored to be invited to this beautiful and historic island by Missionaries Kirby and Mary Parker. Tentatively, our plans are to minister and teach, as well as to provide leadership training. We will depart on Thursday, April 30 and return on Sunday, May 24. We look forward to sharing some great reports during our time in Malta.

About Malta…

As you can see from the photo above, Malta is an island, South of Sicily and Italy, and North of Africa. It’s relatively small size, (122 square miles) and population (approx. 450,000) make it one of the world’s most densely populated countries. Malta gained its independence in 1964 from Great Britain after a long history of being occupied by many different nations. In 1974 they became a republic.

Malta is known for a long Christian legacy which includes the Biblical historic site where the Apostle Paul was shipwrecked. Known at the time as Melita, this is where Paul was infamously bitten by the viper that struck out from the fire when Paul was throwing a bundle of sticks on it. History records that Paul spent three months on the island on his way to Rome. While there, he was known for curing the sick, including the father of Publius, the chief man of the island. It was Paul who was responsible for opening this country up to Christianity.

The Parkers have started one church in Malta where they also hold home fellowship groups in several key locations. They study the Maltese language and also make regular contacts on the neighboring island of Gozo.This part of the world brings opportunity to minister to many different nationalities including the Maltese, Chinese, Filipino, Bulgarian and even American nationals.

    What an adventure awaits you! Malta is very close to our hearts, as we have some dear Maltese missionary friends who visit our church and our home on a yearly basis. Thank you for linking up with us at Grace & Truth! You’re in my prayers as you minister in Malta for the glory of God.

    Thank you Mary, we still have quite a few churches that sponsor us from our time in Latvia. They know that we make at least one trip a year overseas to teach Revival By Design and have been so good to help us further this ministry. We don’t take it lightly and consider it a partnership with not just those that give but all who PRAY for us and the people we go to minister to. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and to remember us. Blessings! ♥
