Kelly and Cyndi Robinette are an amazing couple but come from extremely different backgrounds. Kelly considers himself the least likely person to be involved in any kind of ministry, while Cyndi was raised in a pastor’s home. Now they serve in Cambodia and have been on the mission field for over 28 years.I was able to catch up with them in person while they were in the U.S. on furlough. It was an amazing treat to sit down at their dining room to talk about the wide variety of outreaches and job training they do.I was inspired by what God’s already done in their lives and ministry. And I picked up a few tidbits about prayer as well as how they are able to reach entire families by reaching out to a particular person in each family.(hint – it’s probably not who you expect)I was inspired, challenged, and encouraged. I think you will be too.Three ways to be involved in missionsPray – Make a list and bring them before God every day.Give – Set aside a portion of every paycheck to go towards missions. Allow God to stretch you.Go – Not everyone can go. But some can.Internet ResourceGoogleWikipediaContact InfoFullLifeKids.comKellyRobinette.com
