Missionary of the Month
Tim & Rebecca Walker
If you want to be a dynamic part of God’s story here, you need to be willing to be a part of God’s story anywhere. So often, God’s specific callings include leaving and going. This realization and commitment can be scary, but it can also lead to amazing stories of our Lord’s provision, power, and purpose.
In our family’s experience, God has consistently leveraged the smallest amounts of courage into undeserved opportunities to join his great big story. From conversations about Jesus in our home, neighborhood, and communities, to epic adventures in American indigenous cultures, Canada, Mexico, Central America, East Asia, Southern Africa, Eastern Europe, and the Arabian Peninsula, God persistently proves the manifold implications of Psalm 24:1 and the directive of Psalm 8. And through all of these, God faithfully calms our fears, stretches our trust, and patiently shapes us into missionaries.
In the summer of 2000, our family answered God’s specific call to leave family, friends, and familiarity to go with him on mission to a little valley in Washington’s Cascades that we came to call home. In the winter of 2020, God has once again called us to leave family, friends, and familiarity to follow him on mission to the Tri-Cities. As our trust is stretched and our fears calmed, our prayer is that God would continue to shape all of us at Richland FBC into the missionaries he will use to write his great big story in Central Washington, the Pacific Northwest, and around the world.
Pray with us:
- For all the practical details of packing up 20 years of life, securing a home, and relocating.
- For the emotional strength to grieve leaving while embracing the joy of new friendships.
- For the healing of wounds and relational struggles in the First Family.
- For flexibility, grace, and sweetness as we all learn as a church to work from within old and new relationships to see our love grow for the Lord, for each other, and for our communities.
- That God’s name would be praised and that his kingdom would come in Richland as it is in Heaven!
