Pioneering is hard work.
I think we knew that when we started all of this, but I guess I had hoped it wouldn’t be :)
We are excited to begin the very first Titus Project in Europe this July in Sweden, but the challenge is getting the SBS graduates to see how important it is to give away what they have been learning. Right now we have awesome staff, great teaching opportunities, but not enough teachers-in-training to take with us.
I guess we all struggle with that right? Generally we seek to improve our own life: seeing the blessings we have, the relationships we are in, the money we make, the things we learn, as great things in our life, for OUR life. If we can in turn use that to bless others without too much effort on our part, or too much sacrifice, all the better. I am just as guilty of that as the next person. But I still have to admit I am disappointed in the lack of interest.
And so, we as the staff need to look at how we can motivate the students to sacrifice a few months of their lives, and a few dollars to go and teach those who would not normally receive teaching. Please pray with us that the students from the SBS’s around Europe (there are about 5 of them all running right now) will be motivated to go and teach this summer.
Sorry for the ‘downer’ post, I guess I am just a little discouraged right now. Thanks for listening and praying with us.
