Yes, indeed! I am goin’ back to Africa … and Thailand, too!!! Thailand was one of my favorite countries to live in on The Race, so I am quite excited to be returning so soon! And, even better, I have not been to South Africa or Mozambique yet, so its about time to get some more Passport stamps!
Here is a bit of info to let you all know where the Lord is taking me in the coming weeks! I will be transitioning to a new blog as well, since I am working with a different organization for now. The Word Press Blog, juliekolins.wordpress.com, will be up and running shortly.
Who: Heidi and Rolland Baker’s IRIS Global (based in Redding, CA and Pemba, Mozambique)
What: Harvest School of Missions … and now, The Harvest School of Pioneers
9 week missionary training school (i.e., international seminary, leadership training, and inner healing ministry)
Why: I believe the Lord is calling me to be equipped, trained, and discipled for future international mission leadership opportunities (e.g., I would love to lead short-term trips in the future). Also, there is always more to be had … more of Him, more community, more serving, more learning, more healing, more joy, more connections, and more growth.
