Taking the Leap

When Catalin and I launched Leap of Faith - our intercultural marriage ministry - in October of 2005, we had no clue how much it would grow and how God would bless it! This past year, we've had the opportunity to minister to thousands of individuals and couples from Mexico to Monaco, from Brazil to Germany to Venezuela to Kenya. Our newfound friends have asked questions, told poignant and funny stories, and shared their own intercultural wisdom and experiences with us.

 

Our vision and our passion has always been to publish a book on the topic of intercultural marriage to serve as a resource for Christian couples. We are continuing to pray for open doors for this book! God has been so faithful in our lives, and we want to share our experiences in the hope that we can encourage others. 

 

Intercultural marriage can be a challenge, sure. But it's also a great adventure, and it's FUN! I wouldn't trade it for the world. Yes, it calls for adjustment, but it also brings joy. It requires greater patience, but that patience creates resilience. It can mean more work in some ways, but more love in others. The excitement and romance help us to laugh off the silly misunderstandings that sometimes occur. And the stretching of our minds and hearts can only be a good thing, as we learn to have a greater passion for the Lord and for the world.

 

Please continue to pray that this book, so long researched and prayed over, will come to fruition soon so that it may serve as a powerful resource to help intercultural couples build their marriages on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ. Thank you! We appreciate you so much.

 

Remember: Without faith, it's impossible to please God!
