So we spent 17 years living in another country that wasn’t our passport country. Our kids grew up overseas….and now are moving onto their own challenges and opportunities. We serve with SEND International. We were 17 years in Ukraine, involved in church planting, leadership development, camp ministries, kids ministries and…….lots of variety and lots of learning. Very thankful for that time in our lives. At present, we serve here in Canada with SEND, John full-time as a missions coach (facilitating people to serve cross culturally across the street and across the world) and Leanne part time in the personnel department.
