We are joined by Brock and Nancy Baker in the studio today for Part 1 of their incredible story of God’s faithfulness in their lives! Brock and Nancy have a very sweet love story as they have been married for 31 years! They were both Christians from an early age and have a deep love for the Lord which is so evident throughout this conversation. Shortly after college Brock and Nancy started their own flooring business. This business was very successful, and they eventually had over 30 employees and had built their own office park. However, during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, they lost everything. All that they had worked so hard for, all the time they had poured into their employees was suddenly gone. But their faith in God helped them persevere, and He provided for them every step of the way. In the background of the success of their business, God was stirring in them a passion for international missions and the idea that there was something more for them. Through a class they took at their church they learned in a very real way to be open to whatever God had for them. They were so open that they even went to Spanish language school for a summer in Costa Rica because they thought it would be good for them to have that tool in their tool belt. Little did they know, God would use that later to do amazing and unexpected things! Losing their business was incredibly hard and yet God was using it to open some amazing doors across the world. The next chapter of their lives was beginning. Make sure you come back next Wednesday to hear what happens next!
