A Tailor-Made Teacher?
Working on that missions display took up a lot of my time and concentration last week, and I rose to the challenge willingly enough. But something else interrupted my life last week, and I’m ginning to myself here because I suspect this could be the starting point of something quite amazing. I can’t help myself - I’m going to give you a few clues.
A young man came to the office mid-afternoon on Thursday and asked to speak to me as I’m the one that works on and looks after the mission’s website. This was a true computer geek! He’s 21 and knows way more about computers and graphics and building websites than I do, he’s also keen on Linux, but get this - he’s a Christian and he wants to offer his services to this mission!
Of course I had to tell him that he’ll have to meet the Director first, and fill out the membership application form required of all volunteers. Since he is so young and travels by bike as the Spirit leads him, I can see that he might suddenly up and announce that he’s feeling led to go to some other city, or start a business of his own, and it could be awkward and leave us in the lurch, so I want to suggest to the Director that we start him out with some simple projects just as teaching me how to do some things and how to network my computers, etc. Then, as we get to know him better, maybe we can delegate more sensitive work to him.
So… the next few days and weeks could be crucial in this matter. I need to make up a list of all that I’d learn to learn from this tailor-made teacher that the Lord seems to be bringing into my life.
Oh, and I should add that this morning I am speaking at a Senior’s luncheon, again, on behalf of the mission, so I have prepared this
RoseBouquet ahead of time. That should be fun too.
