wycliffe night
nothing struck me. there were about 20 of us there, and basically it was a slide show presentation/skyping with a girl in papua new guinea. i'm just not an on-the-field person. the little bit that i was hoping to hear was happening stateside actually mostly takes place on the field, and again, that's just not me. i did hurt for a pastor from one village who desperately wants the Bible in his language for his people, but the missionary who was there had to come back for whatever reason. now there's no one to work with him. those stories always hurt. i guess maybe i'm meant to be a sender or something.
i'm glad i got a definite 'no' (or 'not now'), though. it kind of stinks, because i'd rather do something i'm passionate about than work a regular job again, but at least i don't have to wonder 'what if'.

i'm glad the 'no' was clear, but did you ask anyone about stateside work?
didn't really get a chance
Good to know.
Do you have a phone number that you could call them and ask about any work you could do here?
yeah, at least you got to go and the interview last week went well (possibly better) because you weren't worried because of this. I'll keep asking for clear guidance!
i don't have a phone number, but i do have an email address. we'll see if i do anything about it.
The speaker at Perspectives made it seem like there are office jobs or things that needed to be done off-the-field. I would urge you to contact them to ask specifically if you can do anything here, because those sorts of face-to-face meetings are designed to try to recruit people to go overseas (as is the entire Perspectives course). The guy at my presentation said several times that they need all kinds of skills/people.
