Paul and I had the privilege of working with the Global Training and Development Team of MTW the month of July. This particular training is for missionary candidates who are heading for their field of service within the year.
We helped mentor three couples through this process and Paul led a seminar on MTW's child protection concerns and policies.
We stayed in the same apartment we were in last year. Although it is about an hour or so by subway to the church where we met for meetings as well as the churches we were working in, it still had a bit of a feeling of home which was nice.
We got to see a bit more of New York City this time, walking around Greenwich Village and going to Ellis Island. But most of our time was spent helping the couples we worked with through their assignments and other issues that came up as well as helping with teaching Sunday School and VBS in two very ethnically diverse churches.
I very much enjoyed getting to know the Treadwells who are heading for Ethiopia next month and Paul the Donahoo's (heading for England) and the Roman's (heading for Bulgaria). It is hard to believe that on September 8th we will have been with MTW for 30 years. Doesn't seem that long ago we were in the shoes of these young couples, heading out for the first time.
