job

So things are all up in the air again…well I suppose in a way they always are especially where I’m concerned but here goes…
I came with the assumption/belief/hope I would be working with James Veitch and the Synod Youth Department in finding out what programs there are now for girls’ ministry and then to develop more or further what they have. Things have been a little slow but moving forward—more ideas coming, trainings and meetings I’ve been to, and learning Chichewa. James has received a letter from the Synod stating that at the beginning of the new school year he will be reassigned as a teacher at William Murray Secondary School and no longer be working with the Youth Department.
I have met and like the people in the Synod Youth Office but I feel that my way forward has been stalled. James was the driving force in the office (I think). The office is in Lilongwe and I don’t know who if anyone there will really continue to help me or have ideas as to what my next steps should be—who to meet, where to go, etc.
The plan right now is to continue what I’m doing…learning Chichewa and helping around nkhoma—renovations, epilepsy clinic, school, hospital. My options (as always) are still endless…there is lots to do here. After my Chichewa course (which I think I will start on the 17th) I’ll try to go into the synod office in lilongwe and see how that goes…I’ll help James with his projects and proposals and see where that leads before he is transferred to the education department.
Thanks for your prayers and thoughts and encouragement.
