Introducing Our Homeschool Helper

For over a year now we have been petitioning the Lord for someone who would feel called to go with us to Mexico. Our need was someone who could work with our children in school while Diana concentrated on learning the Spanish language. We are now very excited to introduce you to Jodi Buttram. Jodi has a missions background, loves children, but most importantly she is a friend who follows the Lord.

Jodi and her family have been friends for almost twenty years. She along with her brothers and sister were in our youth group except for the year they packed up as a family and ministered in Russia. After returning and completing her homeschool education, she graduated from Bryan College. Over the last few years she has been a mainstay of our Sunday evening Praise and Bible Study time.

We’ll let Jodi tell you the rest of the story, “The Lord has been doing some very exciting things in my life in the past few months, in teaching me more about faith and how it can be practically applied in my life…In November, God shifted my plans and made it so that I was no longer tied down with a full-time job. I did not know what direction the Lord had for me to go, and so I began searching for His leading…”

“While I was praying for direction in my life, I was also asking God to provide me with spiritual mentors, especially in the absence of Diana, who has been my mentor in these past few years. I also felt that I needed some accountability…When the Lord showed me that He wanted me to accompany the Harers to Mexico, it also became clear that He was answering my requests for accountability and spiritual leadership.”
