Hi, I'm Liane. Dave and I celebrated our 25th anniversary in December. We have 3 wonderful children, two of whom are accompanying us to Kenya and one who is staying to work and make plans for his second year of University. I am a registered Social Worker who has worked with children and adults who have Developmental Disabilities for a number of years. Last year I switched directions and began working as a relief Social Worker in hospital settings. I enjoy hiking, travel, crafts and spending time with friends and family.
Over the years I have served in a number of capacities in the church including: Christian education, pastoral care, bible studies etc. At the moment I am on the Outreach Action Team helping with local and global outreach ministries. I am leading the newly formed community outreach team and I participate in an Adult bible study and the wellcome change group which raises money for water projects.
Over the years I have heard about the experiences people had in El Salvador and have gradually developed a desire to explore a more Global discipleship. God has led this group to go at this time. I know He has amazing plans which I cannot foresee but, man, I look forward to seeing it all unfold! I will be changed, my family will be changed, and our church will be changed. In some tiny way we will change some of those we meet in Kenya. Partnerships and friendships will be formed, journeys begun. Our God is an awesome God! He rules and only He knows how much his kingdom will grow as a result.
It's hard to say what I am looking forward to most. I look forward: to building relationships; to worshiping with; to working alongside Kenyan brothers and sisters in Christ; to learning and being open to what God would teach me; to serving with Christians from another culture.
I would like prayer for: health and safety for our team. peace for family left behind, and an openness to the leading of God's Holy Spirit while I am there and when we return.
