Melinda Evans arriving at IAD from the ATL.
The bond that is forged with friends on the mission field is strong. When you’ve served in the “trenches” alongside close friends, the shared experiences and emotional bonds are unmatched.
That is why Maureen and Melinda’s faces cannot hide the unfettered joy that they felt right there near baggage claim #6 in Dulles International Airport this week.
I always knew there was a reason that Jesus sent the disciples out to do ministry in twos. We are designed to work and serve together and the depth of our international friendships puts flesh on this valuable ministry principle.
If you think about it, please pray for Melinda’s family as they prepare for their third international adoption which will be quickly followed by their establishing a new ministry with Food for the Hungry in the Dominican Republic this Fall.
This past week our dear friend Melinda went to be with the Lord. She lived every day loving people and serving Jesus. She will be dearly missed. Please pray for her husband David and their kids Cooper, Jacob, Grace, Tyler, Eli, Sarah Joy and Rosie.
