Greetings all!
I have been home for roughly five months and during this time I have enjoyed warm showers, abundant grocery stores, speedy internet, and the opportunity to see many of you! The last five months have been challenging, fun, and exciting. I have spent time in Florida, Atlanta, New Jersey, and New York, but most of my time has been spent in Dayton, Ohio.
My hometown. To me, there’s something special about Dayton. Maybe it’s the family and friends I have there. Maybe it’s the wonderful church community I have there. Maybe it’s even the simplicity of getting from point A to point B without the hassles of heavy traffic or cramped vans converted to busses. Whatever it is, Dayton is my home, and I am proud of that. I have enjoyed my time in Dayton these last few months and see so many opportunities there. These things being said, it is time for me to transition into another season.
On May 3rd, I will be moving to Buenos Aires, Argentina for a year. While in Argentina I will be interning with Band of Coders, a software company with a presence there. My objective is to enhance the sense of community in the workplace. To shift the workplace culture from traditional to relational. Essentially I will be taking the principles I experienced on the World Race and attempting to apply them to a workplace setting.
I am extremely excited about the opportunity and spent a week in Atlanta this month learning about the company and working to create a plan for my time in Argentina. The plan is exciting, scary almost. If this works in Argentina, where else can it work? Where else can we bring faith into the workplace and see businesses run with Kingdom principles?
This blog has been a great place for me to share my journey and experiences on the World Race with you. I have received much encouragement in the form of comments or messages on this blog. As I enter this next season, I am just as excited to share my journey with you, from a new blog.
From here on I will be using: http://jeffreywickham.com as my personal blog, my way to keep in touch. If you visit the site, you can click on “about” or “contact” and sign up to subscribe to email alerts there.
