Update— 6 Months!

Poland Missions Update— Less than 6 Months!

We’re excited to share a quick update as we hit the 6-month mark (actually now under 6 months!) before leaving for Poland. This season has been full of encouragement, and we’re so grateful for all the support we’ve received.

Thank You for Your Support
We’ve been overwhelmed by your prayers, generosity, and encouragement. Over the past few weeks, we’ve had the chance to visit several LifeGroups and share more about our calling. Those conversations and times of prayer have meant so much to us.

Shane also attended two missions conferences— one here in Phoenix and another in Atlanta— which were incredibly helpful for networking, preparation, and receiving fresh encouragement.

A Bittersweet Season
We recently enjoyed a wonderful but bittersweet Thanksgiving with family. As we get closer to leaving, we’re beginning to experience some “last” holidays and moments with loved ones before leaving the States and heading to Poland. We would deeply appreciate your prayers as we walk through this tender and meaningful season.

Financial Needs & Partner Opportunities
As we reflect on the Christmas season and the heart behind Giving Tuesday, we’re reminded of how generosity fuels missions around the world. If you’ve been considering partnering with a missionary family, this is a meaningful time to join our team. We still have a few monthly financial needs to meet, and your gifts—whether monthly or one-time— help provide essential support such as ministry resources, language learning, and basic living costs as we prepare to serve in Poland.

 If you’re already partnering with us— thank you! Your support is truly making this possible.

 If you have any questions or would like to set up a time to chat, we’d love to connect!

 Thank you for walking with us on this journey.
Shane, Stephanie, and Family

Update— We Are on Our Way!

We couldn’t do this without you! Your prayers, encouragement, and support make it possible for us to step out and serve, and we are so grateful. We are reminded daily that we are all called to be part of fulfilling the Great Commission, and you are helping make that possible.

We are excited to share some big news: we have officially purchased our tickets and will be leaving on June 1st! Right now, we’re in the process of continuing to sell our things, preparing for the journey ahead, and continuing to support raise for this mission (we've reached 60% of our goal!)

In the meantime, we’re trying to learn Polish on a daily basis and will be joining a Bible study here in Arizona with friends from Poland that we met at our local library. It’s been such a blessing to connect with them and begin practicing the language before we leave.

Thank you again for being part of this mission with us. Your support is making an eternal impact, and we can’t wait to share updates as we step into this next chapter.

With gratitude,
Shane, Stephanie and Family
