So if you’ve been reading this blog you know that for the past year I’ve been involved with an amazing program at McLean Bible Church called the Future Leaders Program.
The purpose of the program is to equip young leaders for a lifetime of ministry. The hope is that as the church grows and older leaders transition out, these younger leaders will step in and continue the work that God is doing at McLean Bible Church.
I won’t talk too much longer about the program, because I think I blog about it about every week, but it’s important context for the rest of the post.
So around March I started to realize that the year was almost up and I didn’t have a job for after the program ended. There is no guarantee of employment after the year ends, so I was left wondering what was going to happen. I certainly had a very focused prayer life around then.
I have been working for the Communications Team at McLean Bible Church for the past year, and it was an absolutely incredible experience. I learned so much about the practical application of what I studied when I got my degree in Public Communication at American University, and I got the chance to work with an amazing team of communicators and graphic designers.
In late March, I was offered a position after the Future Leaders Program ended with the Internet Campus. This was not only an answer to prayer because I got to continue working at McLean Bible Church, but it is something I am absolutely looking forward to and something that I know I will have an amazing time doing. I get to work on the cutting edge of ministry, doing things that are only being done by a handful of people around the world. Wow. Just thinking about that makes me excited.
But what excites me the most though is the impact we have the chance to make in people’s lives. The world is changing rapidly, and now more than ever we have the opportunity to carry our message to both the ends of the earth but also to our own backyard in ways that we never dreamed of through technology. I am very excited to be able to take part in that.
So I’m now working for the Internet Campus. My new boss is actually a former Future Leader himself, so it’s great to have that connection, and I’m definitely looking forward to working with him, even if he is a little bit obsessed with Oklahoma sports…
So yup, that’s my life in a nutshell. I’ve got a new cube, new work schedule, new team and new computer (booyah MacBook Pro!) but I’ve still got the same philosophy and same passion for ministry.
Lets go conquer the interwebs.
