’til Christ is formed in you
Serving in Central Asia for over two years had already taken a toll on our resilience and emotional reserves, and then we found ourselves in the midst of violent attacks and the loss of life on our team. By God’s grace we found MEI and received the care we needed to be able to return to the field and serve out our term. MEI’s care is critical for the longevity of those working in the most difficult places in the world!
After being on the field for a couple of years, I knew I needed to step into my own grief and trauma, but didn’t know where to turn. I was struggling with cycles of depression and anxiety, only exaggerated by the long, grey Eastern European winters. I felt so alone and isolated and didn’t know what to do. A friend connected me to MEI. I found a safe place, friendship, and the support I needed to continue in my calling.
Igniting Hope

Something New Entirely
Visiting relatives as a child came with a lot of internal ambivalence. I enjoyed the stories, hated stringing green beans, had a blast playing horseshoes or croquet, and cringed every time someone said I was “a shepherd”. What did that mean anyway? One aunt kept calling me by my Dad’s name, apologized, and remarked how much I look like my Dad. Then she would do it all over again in the same visit. Is that what it meant to be a shepherd? I just look like my Dad?
