I haven't been updating much on the topic of my future after graduation, which I apologize for. I have been refraining from doing so because I didn't want to raise false hope or crush dreams (my own) too publically. There are some updates that need to be presented though, things that I need prayer for.
So far there seem to be two options that are dominant. I had initially applied for Samaritan's Purse, a type of Christian relief program. Apparently I am a finalist for their program in Bolivia and get interviewed next Friday. The nice thing about this program is that I would speak the language where I would be stationed, it is a paid position, and it's for five months. I haven't been told what I would be doing there though. Oh...did I mention that I studied for five years in Bolivia?
The second option is with World Venture. I'm not sure why both my options are Christian missions, but that is how it worked out. My parents work with World Venture, so I'm quite familiar with who they are and what they do. A night after I found out that I was a finalist with Samaritan's Purse I received a phone call from World Venture inviting me to help start a type of Christian Peace Corps in Côte d'Ivoire, Africa. I would be part of the first group to go over and help start up the center, molding and shaping it according to what I feel needs to change. More specifically, I would help organize and make connections for the agricultural section. Who knew the time that I spent on the farm in Tambo would come in this handy?
Both these opportunities are holistic ministries, meeting people's physical needs. I need to raise $1500 a month for the World Venture program. As I find out more information I will be posting it on my blog. I still need to officially apply for my position with World Venture, but it is pretty much a 'go' situation.
Please keep me in your prayers. If anyone is interested in supporting me please let me know! I know that God will provide...
