In obedience to what God spoke to my heart in February 2008 during a time of worship, i have stepped out in faith of the administrative post at the office i was working. I heard clearly that 6 June 2008 would be my last day. That day was also the last day of the semester, and the day of the school graduation. My husband stepped out a week earlier - at end of May. His timing is perfect.
In 2004 and 2005, God had spoken to my husband and me respectively to help there, so we did. It's been 4 years for him and 3 years for me in our administrative positions. In that period, our teaching tasks increased, especially in his case.
We had sensed there would be such a transition coming up for at least a year, but we did not make a move till we heard clearly from the Lord. We would still be helping that ministry, but in a different capacity.
We spoke to the directors in March, and they gave us their blessing. We will still be teaching there, so it is certainly not leaving. Just a change in duties. It was really a very gradual transition as I believe they had also heard from the Lord. Moreover, we had spoken earlier to them regarding our hearts' desires about teaching more and travelling more.
Within a period of 3 months, the office advertised for and hired an administrator and got other help to take over our tasks.
We are excited about this transition as our hearts desire to teach more and travel more, bringing His word and truths to this nation as well as other nations, to help people see the love and hope which is to be found in the Lord. We continue to believe for open doors that His Word can enter!
