IAN & JAN
We have always tried to work out how we could work together for the Kingdom of God in every area of our lives. However, since working as an account manager in IT for most of my working life, it was always difficult to make that a reality, except for some time each Sunday as we tried to be in our church together. The constant travelling - crazy hours - was taking its toll. In 2002 I lost my job and decided to become self-employed and this did allow us some extra time to be on mission together, although it made our finances pretty tight.
During this time we were very blessed to be involved in Prayer Missions to Eastern Europe with NLI (Next Level INternational) and found this was what God was calling us to do. It was so wonderful to be able to work together at last! It was while we were on one such Mission that God spoke very clearly to us saying that this was what He was calling us to - to work together!
