We have spent the last 10 days out in Waxhaw. NC attending the Wycliffe Inter-cultural Communications Course. It has been a challenge and a real growing experience. The classes, teachers, and subject matter is all very good and useful to all who have been or are going to work cross-culturally.

We are gaining insight into our own spiritual vitality, cultural and language acquisition, word view, and interpersonal skills (team building). christian and I attend classes 4 hours each morning and have classes many days in the afternoons. Our afternoon classes are electives such as off-road driving, medical issues and caring for your family in a third world country, MK issues/perspectives, and “field-proofing your marriage” (required class).

ICC video – week 1

(click the above link to see a 1 minute video of us in action at ICC)

We are living in an apartment on the Wycliffe/JAARS base where the classes are held. Our kids are continuing to home school and a new friend, Mrs. Hudson, is coming to stay with them each morning. It has been a stretch for me personally to leave my responsibility of school, basically in the kid’s hands, but they are doing a great job learning and getting the work done independently.

Pray for us as we continue with the next 3 weeks of ICC. We are seeking God’s clear direction through this time for an answer about future ministry.
