There became a point in 2004 that I felt God’s call to leave my job at GE to work for PIN full-time. Here was the problem I had a really good salary at GE and PIN couldn’t afford to pay me. So I ignored God’s call initial, because I knew it was not going to be easy or comfortable. I love God and want to please Him so I couldn’t ignore the call for long. I told God I would leave my job and work for PIN full-time if He made it clear to my wife. So I told my wife that I though God wanted me to leave GE to work for PIN full-time, but I wouldn’t even considered leaving until God made it clear to her.
My wife loves God and wants to serve the poor, but I knew it was going to take God for her to agree. We had a large house in a neighborhood she loved. We had 401K’s and allot of additional money which my job allowed. My wife said OK honey, but I know she was thinking “that’s never going to happen”. We both continued to pray and to focus on what God wanted. Then one morning my wife just woke up and said you have to quit your job. We then put the plan in place. Sold our house and bought a smaller one, and started living on less money.
