The Whitman Family: A family of four: Andy, Stacey, Madison (9), Spencer (6)

Fully Appointed Assemblies of God World Missionaries: Appointed to Missions in 1996, ordained in 2005

Where we have served: Starting in 1998, we served as missionaries in the Balkans to the country of to Macedonia. Macedonia, formerly part of Yugoslavia in Eastern Europe, broke away and became a nation in 1991. Macedonia was the least evangelized country in Europe with a blend of Orthodox Macedonians, Muslim Albanians and Gypsies. Skopje, the capital, has the largest settled Gypsy population in the world. The Evangelical Christian population is less than 1 tenth of 1%. During our terms in Macedonia, we were involved in refugee work, started Royal Rangers, ministered to young Christian converts from the Muslim faith and witnessed to our neighbors. We were also able to work in the neighboring countries of Albania, Bulgaria, and Kosovo.

Currently, as AGWM missionaries for Royal Rangers International (RRI), our region of influence has expanded from the Balkans to the world. Simply put, we help coordinate Royal Rangers in 73 countries. Andy serves on several councils, oversees the publications of 3 RRI newsletters, assists in the on-going development of an international curriculum and makes trips around the world to promote the Royal Ranger program and train national leaders. We have been with RRI for 2 years and are currently itinerating.

Teams need a variety of construction talents, such as carpentry, masonry, framework, post and beam work, and native material construction. Accepting the challenge of a Royal Rangers Pathfinder Missions trip may also require you to use your campcraft, woodsmanship, backpacking, and survival skills.
