So I was gone last week to LEADERSHAPE, a leadership conference, and while I was gone the IMB had to face some tough decisions. The decision that saddened me the most was that the IMB had to suspend the ISC and MASTERS programs temporailary and are reducing the number of Journeyman that they are sending out. This is due to the lack of giving that they have recieved from the Lottie Moon Christmas offering. It saddens me to see this come about because the workers are stepping up but the money is just not there to support them. This a time when the IMB and those who support them are turning to God and listening for his will.
The next step for me is to still be faithful to my call and to keep filling out next part of the application.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to meet SVBC's new Sr. Pastor. Pastor Bill is a man who has a passion and heart for missions. He told me that he was happy to be there and partner with me in this journey and that he would do anything possible he could to make it happen for me to hit the international mission field.
God is good to those who are faithful to his calling.
