Many of you have seen the word itineration in past posts. After thinking it over, I realized it might be helpful to explain what that word means and why it is such an important part of the journey to the mission field.
In the missions world, itineration is the season of traveling to churches, meeting with pastors, connecting with individuals, and sharing the vision God has given us. It is during this time that missionaries build a team of prayer and financial partners who will faithfully stand with them throughout their ministry overseas.
More than Raising Financial Support 🫶🏼
Itinerantion is more than simply raising money, though; itineration is really about building relationships. Every church, every family I meet, and every conversation I have is an opportunity to invite others to join what God is doing around the world.
For some missionaries, itineration may last a few months, while others may be involved in the process for a year or more. It is really all about God's timing!
Some people are called to go, while others are called to send. Through prayer, encouragement, and financial support, the ministry partners I meet during itineration become an essential part of every life that is impacted on the mission field.
I am grateful for every opportunity to share my calling and to see God connect me with people who have a heart for global missions during this season.
God is Faithful
I hope this helps clear up any questions about the word itineration and how it fits into what I'm doing with AGWM. While this season involves a lot of travel and many presentations, it is also a time of watching God faithfully provide the people and resources needed to serve in Costa Rica.
Thank you for praying, encouraging me along the way, and considering how you can be part of this incredible journey. I truly believe we are stronger together as we work to share the hope of Christ with those who have never heard.
