What is TWC?

TWC stands for The Wycliffe Connection. Its a time for Wycliffe missionaries who are back in the US to reconnect with the bigger picture of Wycliffe USA, meet with mentors and resource people, and debrief from their time on the field. Here's some of the things that we did while I was at TWC in Orlando, FL this past week (Sept 9-13).

Welcome to Wycliffe USA Headquarters

Good food and good conversations with colleagues

Worshiping together

Attending Entermission, the weekly chapel on the Wycliffe USA headquarters.

Learning from US based member about stress management, retirement,
career planning, partnership development, Wycliffe USA ministries,
staff resources, and SO much more!

Ever felt like this?

Praise and Prayer September 2013

Give PRAISE ...
  • for times of rest and relaxation.
  • that my remote class is going well! So far the tech side of things has gone well and having the connection with my students is rewarding.
  • for the opportunity to go to Orlando in September to visit the Wycliffe Center and attend the Wycliffe Connection, a retreat and connection time for furloughing missionaries. 

Please PRAY ...
  • that God will bring financial and prayer partners to join with me in ministering to MK's and that God will provide great opportunities to interact with people here in the US. 
  • for provision of a Head of School for Faith Academy Mindanao and grace for those who are filling the gap in the meantime.

Nebraska State Fair

Here's a few pictures from my two visits to the fair and the tobyMac concert.

(notice the jacket...the air conditioning in this country is COLD)

We had seats up close, but at an odd angle. 
Part way through the show, tobyMac and others
moved the performance to the center of the arena.
