We are back in the States for a year of Home Assignment. Some call it Furlough, but let’s be real this is not actually a time of rest. Our job as missionaries is not only to serve the church in Peru but to be a link between communities. I am reminded of Paul asking for help from the church in 2 Corinthians 9. One day, we pray that the church in Peru will be able to help the church in other parts of the world. Until then, you are in a position at such a time as this to help develop and nurture growth in Peru.
We have been extremely blessed so far in our transition back. We had a rocky start with some immigration complications leaving Peru but eventually made it just in time to get off the airplane and go straight to our family Crawfish Boil in Louisiana. We are getting settled, have been given two vehicles and are blessed to stay in the First Baptist mission house. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support.
We will be busy reconnecting and reaching out to cultivate support for our many ministries in Peru. We plan on putting our children through a year of school in Zachary. This puts our return goal in June of 2019. This extra time will be important for our children’s growth and will also enable to us to further develop support for all the ministries as well as do some further study and preparation for the work.
We will be reaching out to as many of you as possible to give a more in-depth update. We look forward to reconnecting and sharing. If you don’t hear from us soon, please respond and let’s set up a time to visit.
In the joy of resting in Christ,
Stuart Mills
