Today begins a brand new adventure for the Goepfrich family! A couple weeks ago we were approached with an opportunity to join the mission field in our own home. After thoughtful consideration and prayer, we are hosting a student from Spain for a month! This is the first time we have ever done this, so we're naturally a little excited. :o) What a great experience for our children to learn hospitality and service!
Alberto is 14 years old, so Peter will finally have another boy in the house for a while. With the wonders of technology we were able to Skype with his family to meet his parents, and they are so sweet! We can't wait to pick him up today and help him have a fantastic time here in the States. Let the memory making begin!

Join our Journey!
Welcome to our new family blog! We wanted to build this site to have a central location with which to keep our friends and family updated on what's going on in our lives. After working in the trenches of ministry for over half our lives, we feel like we are just now at the beginning of our ministry journey as we search for the church that God wants Josh to lead. Allow me to bring you up to date....
Josh and I both committed our lives to ministry when we were teenagers. We decided separately that we wanted to serve God in any way He wanted. Josh went off to Faith Baptist Bible College while I finished high school. Shortly after we married, Josh began serving as the director of youth ministries in the church we grew up in. We both had a strong passion to see young people come to Christ and grow strong in their faith. In 2005 God shook up our world through several life changing events that took us to the church we are currently in, South Side Baptist. Josh has been leading the youth here since 2007 and is now on staff as the minister of youth and education. Several years ago, God once again pressed onto us the burden of full time ministry and Josh went back to school to finish his degree at Oklahoma Baptist Bible College. On March 20, 2013 Josh was ordained and will now continue on in his schooling at Southern Seminary as we seek out God's plan for the future.
This brings us to present day. Josh is actively searching and waiting for God to show him the right church. In the meantime, Josh continues to lead the youth and serve along side our Pastor. I have been leading our church's ladies ministry. We hope that you will follow our blog and hold us all up in prayer as we continue to serve God, wherever that may lead. Thank you for your love and support!
