There are 8 days remaining for us to except applicants for this year’s Discovery trips...and we have many more openings than expected. Which is disappointing...and a bit stressful. We may need to cancel one of the trips slated for this summer...we are sad to have opportunities available that will likely not be taken advantage of. The other short term/internship programs in Wycliffe currently have even less applicants than Discovery does, so it's a bit of a dilemma. We would appreciate your prayers; for wisdom for all of us as we decide how to proceed, both short-term and long term...and for whomever God is nudging to apply for a trip this year.
Although the Ghana team is still 2 participants short, we began our pre-trip on-line preparations with the 6 who have been accepted, as there is less than 3 months before our trip will begin. All our non Ghanaian participants are female at this point...I said I would never lead an all female team (I should know better than to say "never" to God!) Of course, there will probably be some Ghanaian guys, so it’s unlikely the team will be totally female, but with our other two leaders being male this year...which brings me to another prayer request. After much prayer we finally decided on our Ghanaian assistant leader, who accepted...but recently informed us he may not be able to commit to the times we will need him for after all. Please pray for him and with us as we decide if he can still lead, or if we need to find another co-leader.
So many things to encourage us to remember that God is in control...and that we can and should totally trust Him for whatever transpires. I am so thankful to be in His hands!
In His love;
Shevawn
