Friends and Family,
We are taking a huge step of faith, and we would like to invite you to join us! A few years ago, Amy and I began to sense the Lord leading us to immerse our family in world missions before our children entered high school. After much prayer, we requested permission to take a six-month leave of absence and received the green light from our church leadership.
From January-June 2024, we will participate in a family discipleship training school through YWAM (Youth with a Mission), an international missions organization. The first half of the mission involves biblical training at the YWAM base in Kona, Hawaii, followed by serving in an international context chosen during training.
This decision comes at the 20-year anniversary of us surrendering our lives completely to the Lord. We are receiving this as an opportunity to lay it all down again at His feet. It is ALWAYS worth it to surrender all to Jesus! (John 12:26, Psalm 37:5-6) We are so grateful to be going with the blessing of Antioch, our home church, and look forward to sharing everything God has done when we return.
Here is our request to you: Would you pray for the Johnson family? We are asking that the Lord would mark our children for the Great Commission and reveal His heart for the world, as well as give us renewed vision for the next 20 years of ministry.
If you would like to give: There are three ways to give: (1) send us personal check*, (2) via Venmo @CarlNFJohnson, or (3) through Modern Day’s giving platform here. *(Option 3 is tax-deductible, Options 1& 2 are not tax-deductible, however, If you do not require a tax deduction, please consider options 1 & 2 as it will allow more of your donation to go toward our mission expenses)
Thank you for praying for us and considering partnering with us on our journey of following Jesus into the mission field as a family!
Carl & Amy,
Lily (14), Kate (13), Charlie (10) & Jack (8)
