Arthur’s Vision
I am an explorer on a journey with others to discover more of God, the world, and ourselves.
This mission takes me into uncharted territory~
I dream with God about what can be, setting the course and making adjustments as we go for myself and other Spirit-followers. Sometimes this means going alone, or first, onto the path. At other times it is finding God at work in new and mysterious ways within the people and cultures I live among. Wherever the search takes me, I will seek, encourage, and participate in God’s freedom and healing for all.
But I do not undertake this voyage alone~
My family is an integral part of my travels, and I will love them the most and do whatever I can to see them grow into the people God desires them to be on the way. And I lead and share life with a team of fellow Christravelers. My role is to initiate, weave, and articulate vision for this journey, and help us to reflect on our travels and learn from one another. Together, we will live out God’s desired realities everywhere we go, showing others what it means to truly live, inviting them in.
And I bring others along for the adventure~
I draw maps, paint pictures, tell stories, and create environments and experiences of the journey to help process, teach, and inspire people around the world to explore as well. While some will follow with us and others will participate from afar, we are all changed by this pursuit.
And so we go…
Melissa’s Dream
I see myself in the midst of a gathering of God’s people. Alone and together we are seeking and following after Him. Empowered by His Spirit we encourage, challenge and care for each other. He is inviting me to pursue the picture He is painting of our family as we journey along this path together. Along the way I delight in the beautiful views, Spirit enhanced experiences and intriguing people. I love those around me through listening, counseling, leading and following.
The path beckons me to explore, run, dance, sing, and rest as I follow it. As we go I see those on the outskirts. I walk out and invite some along. We journey together and share stories I speak of the hope I have found in the Lord who loves me. The One who longs to make all things Right. I look and listen, trusting His Spirit to show us the way…
