We are full-time lay missionaries.
Our mission field is the Roman Catholic Church in America. We don’t go overseas
to convert the heathen to Christianity, although we could. We are here to
assist our own diocese, the Diocese of Tyler, TX, in keeping her people
faithful to the Lord.
Our
background is in discipleship and evangelization in the Charismatic renewal. We
are marketers and organizers who like to create and manage exciting bold
activities and events for the Lord.
Converting to Catholicism in the
last three years, we have found so much life and youthfulness missing in the
church. We believe it is essential to reach people for Christ in their youth.
Our own selfish lives were intercepted by Jesus as young people before we were
married. We separately attended a formal Discipleship Training School that laid
a lot of spiritual foundations for our future. God has used that secure base to
guide us through 27 years of marriage and raising seven children.
This lay missions adventure is part
of Kerygma Teams, the Catholic based branch of the inter-confessional lay
missions organization Youth With a Mission. Through this we want to develop and
encourage activities that draw Catholics to experience the Holy Spirit in their
lives. Our goal is to establish Kerygma Teams (K-Teams) in the United States,
with a model work in our diocese. There are many short and long-term trainings
and mission trips that K-Teams has available to duplicate here, including a six-month
Discipleship School like we experienced.
Take a look through our website and
read what we have accomplished in our first year with K-Teams. With all
of our heart, we want to help the diocese, young and old “To Know God and to
Make Him Known.”
