Mike & Lynn McCain: COVENANT LOVE
We instantly admired Mike & Lynn McCain. What caught our eyes was that they truly seemed to enjoy each other's company. They were not settling for a marriage built on "get us through the day" commitment. After many years of marriage, ministry and serving God's Kingdom, they truly LOVED Jesus and each other and found JOY in doing so.
So when we committed to serving in Honduras, we wanted the wisdom and encouragement from a couple who had been there, done that and came through it all still loving Jesus and each other. We agreed Mike & Lynn McCain were the couple for the job.
We love that fact that they genuinely love Jesus. Not a passive muted kind of a love. They love Jesus with a Texas Hold'em “All In” kind of love. They love Jesus in a way that says, "We know who we were and where we've been and now we have Jesus and we ain't going back." It's a love that we desire to experience after decades of serving God's Kingdom, God's Church and God's People.
We love the fact that they genuinely love each other. Mr. Mike loves Mrs. Lynn, cherishes, honors, and adores her and she shines in response! Mrs. Lynn respects Mr. Mike. She honors and serves him. They are ONE. They have found that there is more joy in giving than receiving.
They have found that Jesus Style love is more rewarding than the world's idea of, "what have you done for me lately" kind of love. They have escaped from the score keeping, contract love of, “I’ll love you if you love me.” They love each other out of obedience to Christ and not in response to each other’s words or actions. They have found that Covenant Love is more fruitful than any other love.
They have been such a blessing to us and because of that time and love they have shared with us, we are confident in where we are and where God is bringing us. Because of their example of Kingdom Marriage and Ministry, we have a hope that years from now, we can experience the success of marriage and ministry and we will not have to sacrifice one for the other.
