Graduating from Mission School
Two days ago, our family, including Jonas, Jordan and Justine graduated from IRIS Harvest School of Missions HS11. It was a glorious time. We actually were graduated five days early as we needed to get back to Lichinga for Tanya to have the baby. So with all of our fellow students and the mission school staff present, Heidi and Rolland Baker had our family come forward where they graduated us.

Graduating from mission school was much more than just receiving certificates of graduation from Heidi and Rolland. They actually laid hands on us, along with Mel Tari, author of “Like a Mighty Wind” and a key leader in the Indonesian revivals, prophesying over us and speaking words over our lives. We actually got it all on mp3, which is cool. Even the mission school staff and students came up and prayed over us and prophesied. It was amazing! They also had Jesse and Tanya come forward to pray over us as a missionary team. There were a lot of things said about being a new model for missions, reaching the unreached peoples and even a future boat ministry going from island to island. Heidi Baker even ordained us missionaries with IRIS Ministries. I feel so unworthy, yet so honored and favored by God to be a part of such a wonderful family in IRIS Ministries. It was a wonderful finish to the past couple of months of mission school. We have been deeply impacted because we attended the school and God has fanned the flame of the Holy Spirit within us, preparing us for the next season of our journey as missionaries.
