Rob and Heather Blanks will be ministering in Mozambique, Africa, through God’s direction and calling in their lives. They want to serve the people of Mozambique—showing Jesus to be sufficient for today and the only hope for what is to come. Rob seeks to accomplish this by training leaders and making disciples who know and live by God’s Word. Heather plans to be involved in mentoring women and teaching children. She also has a heart for ministering to those suffering with AIDS.
Rob was raised in a godly home and as a young boy made a profession of faith at summer camp. His faith deepened through his school age years under the guidance of his parents and local church. After college, Rob attended seminary. He then went on to pastor a church in Colorado. It was during this time as a pastor that God used a short-term missions trip to turn his life upside down. Since then, Rob has been preparing himself to serve God through career missions.
Heather made a profession of faith as a child and connected with the local church through student ministry. God used her family and friends to strengthen her faith through high school and college years. During college, Heather attended a ministry training program that included a missions trip to Thailand. Through this trip and other experiences God confirmed in her a desire to serve the Lord through missions. Together the Blanks have a passion to reach Mozambicans with the gospel, so they might walk with God in the midst of poverty, disease, corruption and false religion. |
