Partner Profile: John and Marti Sanborn

As I merged off the Tollway in Dallas, I heard the exciting news. John said, "Brad, our men's group met this morning and made an encouraging decision that will impact you guys."

My mind immediately rushed back to our arrival in Phoenix, AZ where John Sanborn met Lindsey and I at the airport. After not seeing John for almost three years, there he was to greet us, help with our luggage, drive us to his house, loan us he and Marti's car, and serve us lunch. We were floored.

Not only did John and Marti greet us warmly but they also integrated us into their lives for the 7 days we were in the Phoenix area. We spoke in numerous churches, attended John's men's breakfast one morning, spoke in small groups, and even had a chance to spend some time with family friends.

After connecting us to numerous churches that yielded many committed prayer partners and 7 monthly financial partners pledging their support, John and Marti had something else in store for us. They took us to the Grand Canyon. Beautiful. Breathtaking. Stunning. They realized that every day was full while in AZ and that we needed a day off (believe it or not our Saturdays and Sundays are almost NEVER days off, so we take our days off during the week). Marti recommended the best salad in all of AZ at The Hideaway Restaurant, so of course we "had" to go to Sedona to try it out (GREAT idea Marti!).

When all these memories finally had been processed in my brain, I heard John's exciting news. Another men's bible study he attends decided to commit to supporting us monthly as a group.

We appreciate you John and Marti. We appreciate your friendship. We are encouraged by your passion for missions. You inspire us to work towards getting to the mission field soon knowing that people like you are partnering with us.
