It's Official! The Kysers Are Going To Malawi!
The Kyser family is moving to Lilongwe, Malawi to serve on the campus of African Bible Colleges. We are so very excited to be following the Lord's call in our lives and we know without a doubt that this is His will! It's amazing that He speaks in such clear, audible ways when you least expect it. It's hard to explain exactly how or why we know that this is where the Lord wants us. All we can say is that there is a "peace that surpasses all understanding" and that we can't imagine not following the Lord here. When He calls He means NOW!
So what now? Well, we are sending out support letters and beginning the process of raising funds and prayer support. These are both very important to our ministry as we would NOT want to go to a third world country (or anywhere for that matter) without the support of our prayer warriors back home. Prayer is the most important thing for us and we'd be honored if anyone feels led to be on our prayer team. We will sending our prayer team info on specific needs that need prayer in both our family lives and our ministry. We will mostly be communicating through the internet (email, facebook, and this blog) since I understand that the "snail mail" is very unreliable in Africa.
Also, this is not a paid missionary position. All of the missionaries at ABC are supported by churches, friends, and family back home. Therefore, the importance of funding is extreme. We will need one time gifts for the container which will take our household items to Malawi, a car (they drive on the other side of the road over there), appliances for the kitchen and laundry (they have 220 volts), our plane tickets, and many other items. We also are in need of monthly support to live overseas. We will be responsible for our own global health insurance, utilities, food, gas, etc. We know that if the Lord has called us to this mission field that He has also called His people to support us as we create a team to minister together with us.
In the book of Matthew the Lord gives us this command, "Go therefore 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 28:19) As Christians we are all a part of the Great Commission that the Lord has commanded yet we are all called in different ways. Some of us are called to give prayer support and protection to the Lord's missionaries on the field. Others are called by the Lord to give financial support as the missionaries go to proclaim His Word. And still others are called to actually go as missionaries to make disciples of all nations.
We, as a family, have been called to be the feet that actually go to the field. Might God be asking you to be the legs to support us, or the heart to pray for us? Thank you for praying with us as the Lord establishes His powerful and mighty team.

In His Service,

He knew the plans He had for you before you were born. My love and prayers go with you, and my suitcase will surely follow!
Surely my Son-In-Law didn't think a move to the other side of the world could get rid of his WONDERFUL MOTHER-IN-LAW and her suitcase!!!
Love you ALL, Mama (Gidgi)
