My new journey— May 30, 2017
If you had asked me in high school what I wanted to do with the rest of my life my answer was most likely, “Teach missionary kids.” I didn’t know where that idea had come from but now I know that it was God speaking to me even before I knew how to define His voice.
Starting in August, Lord willing, I will be following His voice to a calling in Cameroon with Wycliffe Bible Translators to teach at an elementary school for missionaries’ children. I will be furthering Wycliffe’s vision of providing Scripture for the Bibleless. I am so excited that God has led every step along the way in order to prepare me for this spot. I wish I could tell you every single story of God’s preparation in this letter, but I will settle for just one.
When I moved back to San Diego, I did it without any idea of a job. I trusted that He would provide one in His time. I applied to many schools at the beginning of August and the only school that contacted me back for an interview was the one I have been working at these past two years. This position was God-ordained because it taught me how to engage and love whole families, which is exactly what God has prepared for me on the mission field. Without God’s preparation of my heart this way, I never would have been ready to do this.
I am so excited to go and begin my service but before I do, I get to build a team of partners. I have the privilege and joy to invite you all along on the journey with me. There are many ways of partnering with my Wycliffe ministry—through prayer and financial resources. Would you prayerfully consider how God might like you to be involved? I would love to talk with each one of you further. The easiest way to join this team of partners is to follow this link to be directed to my personal Wycliffe webpage, wycliffe.org/partner/msmith. Please contact me further for any other methods.
