No Fulbright for Kenya

Archer did not receive a Fulbright grant, so we are trying to figure out what our next steps should be - whether it is pursuing other funding possibilities for research overseas, cranking out a dissertation here in Michigan on a completely different topic, or?? Please pray for both of us to have wisdom and clear direction as we figures it out! Archer knows that his passion and calling is for teaching, but isn't really sure what that looks like - teaching what? to whom? and what's the best way to get there?

Going to Ghana

Yes, Ghana. For almost 3 weeks beginning at the end of May. Archer has a conference on eLearning, and Lily and I are going along for the ride. We will start in Accra, go to Kumasi, then down to Cape Coast and back out of Accra. Archer will attend the conference then do other scouting and connecting with Ghanian folks doing similar research, and then we will do some vacationing on the beach and seeing the main attractions of Ghana! I am working on connecting with local missionaries in Accra and anticipate that Lily and I will serve there while Arch is working. We will also just do things like market and probably other touristy things, depending on my comfort level.

The tickets are purchased! We are praying that this short trip will be a good for Archer's work, but also as a crucial taste of ministry in Africa for me (Kimberly), as we wait ever so patiently for news of funding for the proposed year of research in Nairobi, Kenya. Pray for us- we need wisdom, safety, health, and guidance from the Holy Spirit! And if you know anyone in Ghana, let us know!
