OUR STORY

Our STORY

Ian and Carla Gennari were married in December of 1999 and both of them knew that they were called to missions. Little did they know that it would be fifteen years until they would finally go into the mission field…

One year before we left for Africa it all began with us praying a prayer at different times in two different locations. “BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS LORD!”

When we both realized in 2014 we had been calling out for this we also knew it was time to be sent! 2014 would be a year of prayer for our 3 boys as well to decide if Jesus was calling them to Mozambique. They prayed and listened at the tender ages of 4, 7, and 10. In February of 2015, we were all called and chosen to the African nation of Mozambique. We are called to make disciple makers, and to love God through loving our neighbors…

The specific call for us is encompassed in Isaiah 58:6- 13 “Is not this the fast that I choose; to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘here I AM’…. And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to dwell in.”
