Next Steps...

Last Fall, the Lord provided me with an excellent opportunity to take a step back from 8 years of Oral Bible story work, and step into an Instructional Designer role.  This gave me a meaningful way to serve, and allowed me to feel safe and cared for during a time of transition.

During that time, I realized that I am not the best fit for the role of an Instructional Designer, and the role is not the best fit for me.  Through career counseling, a lot of conversations and prayer, the Lord has led me to step out of the Instructional Designer role at the end of May, and step into a new role.
 
Starting June 1st, I will be a Discovery Trip Coordinator for Wycliffe Bible Translators. 

This is something I am passionate about, and can actively use my past experiences and skills in.  I can't wait!!!
What will I be doing?

I will:
* coordinate overseas internship trips for groups and individuals 21 yrs and older.

* interview participants & help them raise support

* equip them to succeed on their trip & debrief the trip when they return.

* network with churches and colleagues overseas to create opportunities for participants to experience God’s work overseas, while contributing to the work there.

* travel as the team leader for Discovery trips!

Who will I work with?

* YOU!  I consider all of you my colleagues on this journey to bring God’s word to those who have never heard it!

* My supervisor (John) and his wife (Shevawn), who have served with Wycliffe for 30 years!

* I will travel to Santa Ana, CA (June 3-7), to receive orientation from both of them. 

* From a face-to-face skype meeting with them, I already feel ‘at home’ with them, and am excited to work with them.
Why do I believe God has called me to this?
1- Growing up, short term mission trips transformed my worldview. I now have the privilege to come along side of others on similar life-changing trips.

2- Eight years of service with Wycliffe, including living in strange places and travelling A LOT, will significantly help me to plan trips for others.

3- It is a need.  My role will provide more opportunities for people to serve in specific ways.

4- I will travel again!  My new role will allow me to lead teams overseas!

Why am I excited to share it with you?
Because YOU could possibly come on a trip with me at some point in the future!  How cool would that be?
