I want you to meet my friends Brian and Tonya Devine. We have known them for over 12 years! We have been though ups and downs in both our lives, all the while working on our faith and walking with Christ.

Brian and Tonya have made the decision to go into full time ministry with FamilyLife. I think that is AWESOME that they are listening to Christ and what he wants them to do. They are giving up a life that is in a comfort zone to move to another state and do work for the Lord full time! They have a heart to strengthen and encourage families to stay strong and turn to Christ in ALL they do and need.

Mark and I many years ago were apart of a FamilyLife marriage weekend. It was in the middle of going though the lose of our daughter Sydney. We learned soooo much that weekend about each other, ourselves and just how much Christ loves us to keep us married!

I will be praying for them as they get things together to leave into the mission field and as they are IN the mission field. They have been blessed with three wonderful boys that will be in the field with them.

You are awesome Devine family!! And we love you!!

In 1 Thessalonians 3:2 it says " We sent ( Brian and Tonya) Timothy, who is our brother and God's fellow worker in spreading the gospel of Christ, to strengthen and encourage you in your faith. "

I would but Brian and Tonya's name in place of Timothy!
