What's next?

It was only 7 months ago that I stood with other team members, being commissioned along with the 250+ other new recruits who are now scattered around the globe. On March the 11th, I will have been on the field with OM for 7 months. I have until August and then I will move on to the next phase that God is leading me towards. My first desire is to continue with OM and George Verwer for one more year and serve in 5 different fields throughout the OM world, two of which need to be India and one of our ministry ships. The other option is to return to school which I plan on doing eventually. Other than those two, I'm not sure what else is out there, but am praying and am open to whatever, whenever. I also need to serve on a field trip this summer. There is a couple of opportunities. One is a travelling evangelism team in North Africa. Another possible trip is to go to Lebanon to minster in evangelism with Gary Witherall and George's former gopher, Michael Kaspar. There are more but these two stand out. If anyone has any advice or insight, please pass it on. I continue to talk to Jesus about all of this

  2. Heh, you could come back to Chicago, and stay near me so I can have someone to smoke pipes with. I can't believe you have been gonezo for 7 months. I really miss you man!

  3. HAHAHAHA Fuller? they are crazy...they have a good counseling department, but that is only because they don't believe in the innerrancy of scipture so don't have to worry about justifying Psychology with Scripture! PLUS Dallas has a BEAUTIFUL M.Th

  5. nate,

    just a thought i had today as you crossed my mind...

    school is not going anywhere.

    sounds to me as if you have some amazing opportunites with George Verwer and OM that most people will never get!

    man, i'd keep on with that track unless God is really laying it on your heart to move on to other things.

    anyway, that's my two-cents. and, of course, i could be totally wrong! i'll be praying that God makes things clear and that you'll trust Him more and more!
