A new chapter..

I thought I would start blogging once again, so that I can share about how God is working in Nigeria, and how he is using me. As you can see, in previous posts, I used this blog to update everyone on the goings on in Nigeria when I served there on my 6 month Gap placement. Feel free to have a look back and read about the work I was involved in before.

This time, I will be in more of a supervisory role. I am going back as the Mission Africa short-term Facilitator. This means that I will be facilitating short-term mission placements, supporting Gappers through discipleship & pastoral care, providing in-country orientation, assisting with teams, helping to maintain and establish ministry partnerships and seeking new opportunities for short-term mission.

When I came back from my Gap placement, I kept in regular contact with Open Doors Special Education Centre, where I worked. Special Education is something I am particularly passionate about, and I really enjoyed serving here, in a place that offers hope and support to children and young adults with disabilities. I plan to work at Open Doors part-time, but obviously my role as the short-term facilitator will be priority, and it is a position that is very much needed.

I will let you all know when I have got my Visa. Please pray that all the documentation for that will be sorted out soon, so I can leave by the end of January.

Thanks for your support,

Lynsey
