Meet the Milans:
Leah was born December 23, 1995 and raised in Bethel, NC. Leah came to know Christ at the age of 11 with the aid of her father. She also grew throughout her teenage years, serving as a student leader in her youth group, doing summer missions through the North American Mission Board, ministering to teens at Lake Junaluska, and serving as a staff member at Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters. After being married only a short time, God made it clear to us that we should seek out a place to serve. I took a position as a Student Pastor in Waynesville, NC, but after about a year, God made clear to us that our time there was coming to a close, and through various means, he opened up some doors for us to serve at a church in Northern Manitoba. Contact UsEmail us btmilan@gmail.com While we aren't missionaries in the technical sense of the term, we are taking the Gospel to an area that is very highly non-christian in order to serve as one of the only student pastors in a town of about 15,000 people. Its certainly a huge jump from where we are and what we are used to, geographically, culturally, and climatologically (not sure if thats a real word, but the point is that the temperature can get as low as 41 degrees below zero and there are wolverines). The town is called Thompson, and its in Northern Manitoba, above the 53rd parallel. We certainly need prayer as we get adjusted to the change. We also need prayer that God will fulfill our physical needs, such as relocation costs and clothing built for extreme cold weather. Pray that the community will be receptive to the Gospel and that God will use Leah and I to do a good work. |
