About The Boutell's:
We’re Andrew and Heidi, a family of four doing our best to love God, love each other, and make the most of the life we’ve been given. Along with our two amazing kids, Graeson and Kaetlinn, we’re building a life centered on faith, family, adventure, and making meaningful memories together. Our days are filled with the joys and challenges of raising kids, learning new things, exploring new adventures, and growing together in our walk with Christ. We believe life isn’t about having everything figured out or being perfect; it’s about showing up for one another, trusting God through every season, and finding joy in the little moments along the way. Whether we’re spending time outdoors, working on projects, serving others, or simply enjoying time together at home, our goal is to live with purpose, love generously, and encourage others along the journey. We’re far from perfect, but we’re grateful for the life God is building in us and through us. At the heart of it all, we’re just a family doing life together—one day, one adventure, and one blessing at a time.
About Our Calling:
We believe God has called our family to a life of faith, service, and sharing the hope of Jesus Christ with others. Through this journey, we are learning what it means to trust Him beyond our own understanding, step out in faith even when the path ahead is uncertain, and be willing to go wherever He leads. Our desire is to serve the local church, build relationships within our community, and help people discover the transforming love and truth of Jesus. As we pursue this calling through Village Missions, we are preparing for the opportunity to serve in rural communities where the local church is a vital part of the community and where people need to experience the love of Christ in practical, meaningful ways. This calling is not just Andrew’s; it is a journey for our entire family. Heidi and the kids are part of this story, and together we are trusting God to shape us, equip us, and use us for His glory. We know there will be challenges, sacrifices, and seasons when we must rely on Him more than ever, but we believe the One who calls us is faithful. Our prayer is that our lives would point people to Jesus, strengthen local churches, encourage fellow believers, and make an eternal difference in the lives of those God places in our path. We don't know every detail of what lies ahead, but we are committed to following Him one step at a time, trusting that wherever He leads, He will provide what we need to accomplish the work He has given us to do.
About Village Missions:
Village Missions exists to glorify Jesus Christ by developing spiritually vital churches in rural North America through the ministry of dedicated village missionaries. Founded on the belief that every community deserves a gospel presence, Village Missions partners with rural churches to provide pastoral leadership, biblical teaching, discipleship, and compassionate community outreach. Their missionaries serve not only as pastors but also as neighbors, friends, and faithful servants who invest in the lives of the people God has placed around them. In communities where churches may struggle to find pastoral leadership or have limited resources, Village Missions works to ensure that the light of the Gospel continues to shine and that local churches remain a place where people can encounter Jesus, grow in their faith, and find a spiritual home. Through a commitment to biblical truth, local church ministry, and the Great Commission, Village Missions seeks to see lives transformed by the power of Christ and communities strengthened through the presence of healthy, thriving churches. Their mission reflects a simple but powerful conviction: every community needs a church, and every church needs a pastor who faithfully proclaims the Gospel.
