Since I left my full time job in January 2009 to join Metro Merge (formerly Sub-Urban), I have also been working for BLACK, a small web development company two friends and I started. Income from this work helps provide for our family since we chose to raise support for only one minimum wage salary and health insurance. At first I thought of this as a crutch, but it didn’t take long to realize that being involved with BLACK actually increased my ability to do ministry.

Before we left Michigan, I volunteered at The Motion Initiative, a bicycle ministry where youth can earn “shop bucks” by working on bicycles and later use those to buy a bicycle of their own. In the process of working alongside a mentor/mechanic, they learn the skill of bicycle repair and are held to high expectations of work ethic. Looking back, I see how God was preparing me for the next steps in His plan.

While still living in Grand Rapids, Andrej and I would head off in different directions to serve in various ministries. As much as we each enjoyed the things we were a part of, we really wanted to serve together as a family. We wanted our kids to know serving and caring for others as a normal part of life. For whatever reason, God decided that South Atlanta would be the place for our family to live that out, and we have all grown to love it. The kids greatly enjoy our regular neighborhood prayer walks. They may not understand some of the bigger issues we are praying about, but they join us in praying for our neighbors and friends.
