God definitely seems to be using Mike Breen‘s experiences in Europe to encourage and influence our future experiences as the church here in America. Below is an excerpt from a post Mike wrote earlier this year regarding the above title. It is worth the read, and I would dig your comments for sure.
Praying we will grow in wisdom as individuals and families living on mission together focused on what really matters to Jesus.
How our kids translate and interpret what it even means to follow Jesus depends on it.
Much love.

Sacrificing Mission on the Altar of Family?
by Mike Breen
Here’s the problem. For far too long, many of us felt we were pushed into having to make this false dichotomy: Is it family OR mission?
Rightly recognizing we shouldn’t sacrifice our families, we started to put some healthy boundaries in place, but also some unhealthy ones. So we started to compartmentalize. But I believe it’s part of the progression. So for many of us, this is now the question of our time: Is it family AND mission?
But when we learn to integrate our life and live well as a people participating in the mission of God each and every day and as we listen to the mission God is calling our family to, this is the next progression: Is it family ON mission?

Oh Jason, What a beautiful family!!!!
How fortunate they are to have such a Godly heritage. Jimmy is the best teacher & preacher. I remember you Granddad and one of your Aunts & Uncle. Love your parents and brother. I thank God for the Christian example you and Eric are to Drew. It made all the difference in the world to him having such good friends!
