-- Pray for our hearts to be prepared for what Jesus wants to do in us during our season of training

-- Pray for us as we help our three kids adjust to a "new normal" moving forward (spiritually, emotionally, physically)

-- Pray for the hearts of the people we will encounter - that God would begin the foundational work for His love and truth to land on fertile ground

-- Pray that we would have clarity and a clear path regarding the logistics of making our move from Fort Wayne to Grand Rapids (finding housing, etc.) 

-- And finally, pray that God would continue to expand our team of prayer and financial partners who see a vision for this kind of work in God's Kingdom 

Ways to partner with us in prayer 

And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them? And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent? That is why the Scriptures say, “How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!”

WHAT is our 
role within
the ministry?

In order to serve as fully self-funded staff/full-time missionaries within EveryHeart, we will be required to first complete the six-month EveryHeart School as a family.

This important first step will allow us to integrate and fully understand EveryHeart's vision and ministry as well as unite us (Josiah and Rachel) as we grow in our walks with Jesus and pursue vision for our family as we serve in missions moving forward. 


The EveryHeart School is structured in two parts:

--Three months of lecture style training and application locally in Grand Rapids, Michigan. 

--Three months of outreach in various cities across the U.S. or Western Europe to reach the lost and equip the local church + followers of Jesus to go out with the message of the Gospel. Our family will take part in this outreach together. 

Step One

We intend to continue to serve long-term on staff with EveryHeart and its various ministries. 

Though we desire to fill a role on staff that has need and that we feel God is calling us to following our season of training, we have a heart to serve in one or multiple of the following areas following our season of training:

- Future EveryHeart Schools staff (administration, facilitation, one-on-one discipleship with students)

- Worship Arts Ministry (for the local church portion of EveryHeart and/or alongside the weekly college campus initiatives)

- Discipleship/Spiritual Formation of staff and students in general

WHAT IS EVERYHEART?

EveryHeart is a church + missions base in Grand Rapids, MI, that has grown into an Antioch-model for sending and receiving missionaries while simultaneously building up the local body of Christ. 

Since 2019, EveryHeart has been discipling, training, and equipping Gen Z and young adults to know and love Jesus and to live out missional callings based on the command in Scripture to "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you" (Matthew 28:18-20).
