Thousands of individuals, after the completion of this summer, have been challenged with the Beyond Effect, the mobilization of people moving beyond themselves to serve and have an eternal effect in the lives of the least of these.
As a result, many students and others have intertwined their burdens with their passions to find a way to go Beyond to reach a lost world, including Josh and Stacey Hutchens. They will be traveling to Moldova to complete a two year mission program.
In fact, Crossings will be sponsoring the Hutchens as they serve in Moldova. The Western Recorder, gave mention to the Hutchens in an article concerning Crossings and its mission efforts. The article said the couple had been seeking and praying for a place to serve when an opportunity to serve in Moldova became available at a new Bible institute called the EurAsian Baptist Bible Institute. Josh will be teaching New Testament classes at the institute this fall.http://www.gospellife.org/.
Stacey, a former Crossings staffer said in a recent blog, “Our desire is to prepare the future pastors and church planters of Moldova and to train Moldovan missionaries to Eastern Europe and Central Asia for the glory of God in global worship.”
Josh and Stacey are taking Beyond literally and going beyond the comforts of America to a culture in need of hope and a loving Savior. May their story bring you inspiration as you continue to look for ways to further God’s kingdom by going Beyond.
