HOME ASSIGNMENTS: VISITS TO OUR SUPPORT TEAM
During home assignments we visit the churches on our support team in order to report about our ministry. We also try to visit individual supporters. Along the way we enjoy our family and find some relaxation and refreshment.
Our ministry budget includes home assignment costs so there is no need for our support team to increase or decrease donations during our home assignments.
Our most recent home assignment was for six months in the first half of 2017, when we focused on our western Canadian supporting churches. Our next short home assignment will likely be in the fall of 2019 in order to visit our US supporting churches.
We are making plans to retire in Maine USA, probably starting in 2022.
We take short home assignments of a few months so we are not away from our ministry for too long at one time: 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2015, and 2017.
The exception was our Aug 2010 to Dec 2011 home assignment. At that time we had to take an unusually long 16 month home assignment because of lacking financial support. For two months during that home assignment we were unable to draw salary. We are thankful that since then our ministry budget has been met or almost fully met each year!
