FAQ'S

Q: Have you ever been there? A: No! But we're doing a "vision trip" the last week of July to see the beautiful province and figure out some logistics! The Lord has graciously provided the funds for this trip, but if you would like to donate specifically to this trip, let us know.

Q: How long will you be there? A: We have committed to the one-year-long internship, but currently plan on staying an additional year, in which we will Lord-willing transition from being interns to official church planters.

Q: Do you need to raise support? A: We will be full-time, paid employees of Mile One Mission. However, Samantha and I do ask that you consider giving to help us transport our lives to Canada and live in a place with a high cost of living. In addition to this, you may donate to the ministry itself if you would like at this link.

Q: Will you both be interns? A: Yes! Matthew will be a full-time pastoral intern, and Samantha will be a part-time women's intern while she finishes up her degree.
