Going back to Africa
I’m excited to announce that I’m heading back to Africa in mid January. I’ll be working the same organization (Thrive Africa) that I did on my September mission, only this time I’ll be there or 2 months.
Why am I going back you might ask? Well, apart from my 2 week trip being an amazing experience they have a need for a “creative media” person to help with brochures, movie, emails, etc. This opportunity allows me to use the talents God has blessed me with to serve his kingdom. I never thought I could go to Africa and do the same thing I do in Jacksonville.
My 2 months at Thrive Africa will be sort of a trial period to see if I would like to pursue a 2 year staff commitment. Yes, I said 2 years. I know that’s a long time, but for some reason it doesn’t really scare me. This from a guy who second guesses hard shell or soft shell at Taco Bell. Either way, God must be in control of this or I would be shaking in my boots right now.
