Mullins Mission - Relaunched

Those of you who have followed us over the past few years will know things have been a little less than focused. We spent our first seven months with Dominican Crossroads, helping bring teams in to serve Haitian refugees. The next ten months were spent with Island Impact doing similar work, only among Dominicans. As we sought God's direction, a few commonalities emerged.

First, we love working among the poor and improving their lives in tangible ways - physical and spiritual. The ministries we served did this in uniquely different ways, and we are grateful the things we learned from them both.

Second, we love helping others in their work. Both ministries we worked with were directed by "lifers" - people who have committed most of their lives, past, present and future, to their work. We knew that our tenure was relatively brief - five years. This would bring us back to Canada in time for Shaniah's first year of high school in 2010. We never planned to be career missionaries in the traditional sense, though we would always be in ministry. Church planting is definitely on our radar, and if that is not missionary work in this day and age, I don't know what is.

But "Mullins Mission" was beginning to languish somewhere in between what we were doing and what we felt God truly calling us to do. We began to pray about what our unique ministry would look like, and it suddenly occurred to us that perhaps we had been doing it all along.

In both ministries - indeed, even back to our days at Victory Baptist in Newmarket - we had sought to use media to bring ministry to life. In 2003 I had was given the privilege of traveling to India and Nepal with Partners International, and to film the work that God was doing through several different ministries. We even produced a video about our church to give to new residents in the neighborhood. With both mission agencies here, we filmed various teams, who then took their DVDs home to show those who had sponsored them what they had accomplished.

So "Mullins Mission" has taken on new life as "Mullins Misson MEDIA", complete with a new website to help you see where we are going. We have several projects in the works which will help missions and ministries maximize media - video and internet - for Great Commission work. If you visit the site and click on "projects" you will see the ministries we are seeking to raise funds for, again, for the purpose of producing high quality media that will help them increase their impact.

We're excited! We have begun the process of registering as a charity in Canada, and will seek to do the same in the US in time. Stop by our site every now and again and rejoice with us! And don't stop praying. That's what's carried us this far.
