A goal of the NWYM Global Outreach Board is to highlight NWYM folks who serve with other mission or relief agencies.
Life = surprises. I grew up in Greenleaf, Idaho, explaining to everyone outside of town that Quakers do in fact believe in electricity. And now I live in a culture where anything not part of the Orthodox Church is considered a soul-stealing sect. I never pictured myself as the church -planting type, and yet I love the unpredictability of it all. My exposure to missions through NWYM whetted my appetite for living abroad.
So here I am, serving with Operation Mobilization in Montenegro. I am part of a team of three, working in a town of 20,000, trying to open a youth center with church planting as the long-term goal. We are learning that it all boils down to relationships. It is a long road, and seems to grow longer as our plans get side-tracked and often times derailed. But we know we are exactly where God has led us and will continue, no matter the surprises.
