Today our Global HR department informed us that we are now officially IRs. (International Representatives) This means we have met the organizational requirements to serve outside the US full time. We still have a lot to do before we move, but this is a very exciting milestone in the overall process. Now we need to [...]
While it certainly isn’t snowing here, I keep thinking how nice it would be to have a quiet pause but it’s not to be right now. We have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep. And a lot of miles it will be too. In just under 3 weeks we will be [...]
I like to pray. I like it even more when I know stuff that I can pray about specifically. I think I’m not alone and to help others to know how they can pray for what’s going on at CCCI, there are a number of resources. I’ll point out a couple here that are new [...]
