Welcome back to life on the road with Pastor to Pioneer. This week for episode 19 of season 3, Britton reconnects with an old friend. Peter Schuett now lives in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, and shares about the beginning of his walk with the Lord, from the darkness of drugs and alcohol to coming through the tunnel to the light on the other side thanks to God’s grace. As Peter walked through these things, the Lord gave him the heart of an evangelist and the desire to share God’s story in his life. He eventually became a youth pastor and then an outreach pastor at a church in Holland, MI for several years. Peter and his wife Jessie then felt called to return to their home of the Twin Cities. From there, Peter worked with an evangelistic ministry that did large outreach events in various parts of Africa. Though he saw major impact there, he realized that the work wasn’t causing him to become more like Jesus. Rather, he was coming home stressed out, burned out, and virtually inaccessible to his wife and two daughters for long chunks of time. When Peter realized this, he stepped away from what he viewed as ministry, and into a property management position. Peter shares that he has lately realized that his family itself is ministry, not something separate from ministry. He is beginning to recognize that the goal is not easily measured “impact" but rather growing in Christlikeness.
