Once
upon a time, a visiting missions team asked a question to our three,
new-to-the-mission-field kids, "If you could live anywhere in
the world, where would you want to live?"
Favorite child #1 said, "I'd want to live wherever mommy and daddy live."
Sensitive child #2 said, "I'd rather live in Fort Wayne."
Brutally honest child #3 said, "I'd rather live anywhere else."
Since making those smile-inducing declarations, our kids have lived in three foreign contexts, graduated from high school, and become well-adjusted young adults :).
Furthermore child #2, otherwise known as Wesley, will be a MAPS volunteer with International Media Ministries (IMM) in Madrid, Spain this summer after graduating from Evangel University. (In case you were wondering, IMM purposes to partner with missionaries, national churches, and media outlets to produce both mainstream and new media, train others in specific skills, and mentor a new generation in media missions.)

All grown up and ready to take on the world.
Wesley
has been studying Music Industry at Evangel, therefore an internship
with IMM to pursue his passion for music (editing/producing) and connect it with the
mission of God is a wonderful opportunity.
Of
course, every opportunity has a corresponding cost, but we trust with
a little hard work, your prayers, and the generosity of friends and
family we can make this dream come true. For this internship,
Wesley needs to raise $5000 for airfare, housing, insurance, and
personal expenses to live and minister in Spain for 3 months.
If
you would like to give, Wesley has set up a go fund me account that
is quick and easy to use. If you prefer to mail an offering, please
send it to:
Wesley
Brown
1111
N Glenstone Ave
Springfield,
MO 65802
Either
way, you will receive a receipt and all funds go directly to Wesley
and his internship with IMM.
Please, let Wesley know you'll be praying for him as well.
Thanks,
everyone!
