If I knew 10 years ago what I know now...

As I reflect on the past 10 years of service with Wycliffe Bible Translators, I’m in awe of God’s faithfulness.  Every year has brought indescrible life experiences and valuable lessons.  Here are just a few...

 

2004 - Delaware: Began support raising while teaching 6th-8th grade.  My last full year with my immediate family.  Lesson #1: Family is forever - be with them whenever you can.  Do not take them for granted.

2005 - South Asia - Lived the dream, traversing through mountains and valleys, recording and sharing Bible stories with the Kahani people. Lesson #2: If you have an opportunity to serve overseas, go and do it!  Now!

2006 -  In spite of conflicts with my colleague (the only other foreigner for hundreds of miles), we both learned over 2 years that we NEED each other. Lesson #3: Successful partnership takes work.  Don’t give up.

2007 - U.S.A: Spent 9 months sharing my experiences in colleges and churchgroups, challenging everyone to go, and do now!  Lesson #4: Always be ready to tell your story to others.  

2008 - South Asia - coached 24 national storytellers in Bible storytelling work.  Lesson #5: Reading the entire Bible chonologically in 6 months will help you survive an insanely challenging assignment.

2009 - Worked 14+ hours/day, 6 days/week or more.  Lesson #6: I am not the Savior of the world.  I cannot do everything for everyone all the time, not even unreached people groups.  God can and will reach people Himself - He has not called me to burn out in the process.

2010 - U.S.A./South Asia: - Many trips overseas to train storytellers.  Lesson #8: Learn how to travel with just a carry-on for any length of trip. 

2011- More overseas trips (mostly alone) for training and consulting of national storytellers.  Lesson #7: Travel is thrilling.  Travel is disruptive to ‘normal life.’ Travel is draining. 

2012- Florida - Spent a year in the training department at Wycliffe and re-evaluated my purpose in God’s work in the world.  Lesson #8: Jesus died for imperfect people.  If I think I am perfect, then I deny the need for Christ.

2013- Florida - Accepted a new role as a Discover Trip Coordinator.  Got married! Lesson #8: Who you do life with is more important than what you do.

2014 - Florida - Completed 1 year as Discover Trip Coordinator and as a wife! Absolutely love both roles.  Lesson #10: Keep expectations in check and you’ll be fine.

Celebrating our 1st year of marriage!

Jason and I celebrated our 1st anniversary on November 22!  The past year has been easier than I anticipated- by God’s grace and my husband’s patience no doubt!  It has also been deeper than I ever could have imagined.  You can catch up on my many musings about marriage on my blog! See link below.

Elizabeth coordinated and led the Discover trip to South Asia for 5 weeks this summer.  The team (including Jason), assited local translators, helped with medical camps, and gained a perspective on God’s work in the world.  Elizabeth is currently preparing several folks for trips overseas next year.  She loves analyzing new strategies for planning trips as well as investing in the lives of people who want to engage in Bible Translation work around the world.

 

Jason is currently teaching Phys Ed at an Elementary school, tutoring children after work, and going back to school on weekends to get his Administration & Educational Leadership Degree.

 

Together Jason and Elizabeth are involved with their churchplant in central Florida.  Elizabeth helps organize women’s Bible study, and both Jason and Elizabeth serve in roles on Sundays and lead a small group in their home during the week.  They are studying the book of James.
