It is hard to believe, but it was one year ago this week when Ryan and I were at World Team’s sending office being evaluated as missionary candidates. It was an intense week, but also very worthwhile. We were given tests that surveyed our personalities, gifts and knowledge, and then… as a team of candidates, we were assigned hypothetical tasks and challenges that we had to work together to solve (all while a team of assessors observed us and jotted notes about our strengths and weaknesses). Also, throughout the week, we learned more about the World Team and what it would mean and look like for them to be our sending agency. At the end of the week, we had personal interviews and then an interview as a couple, during which, they reported back on all that they had observed, gave recommendations for our growth, and invited us to join World Team (to our delight). We accepted and, in the following few months, were invited to join the team in France.
This week, another round of brave candidates are going through the same intentional process, and I just wanted to say (in case any of you are reading) that our prayers our with you, and we hope that the week is revealing, as you learn more about yourselves and God’s mission, and as your next steps in that mission become more clear.
