I'm still in the freaking-out stage, but I just found out about an hour ago that I've been offered a counselor position for this summer at SIFAT! That OF COURSE I'm going to accept!
I applied last month, and have been anxiously awaiting this news ever since. There are 4 girl and 4 guy counselors, out of a whole lot of applicants, and I feel SO blessed, beyond any words I could muster, to have been appointed by the Lord to this high calling!
SIFAT, Servants In Faith And Technology, is a missions organization that, throughout the year, hosts leaders from third-world nations and teaches them how to use different technologies to effectively alleviate some of the greatest problems they face - lack of clean water, food, efficient power sources, etc. They are committed to sharing God's love in practical ways.
During the summers, they host youth groups, at their campus in Lineville, AL, and teach practical ways to serve where the Lord has called us to - in our everyday lives.
I fell in love with SIFAT when our college ministry took a retreat there in January. Their heart is SO outwardly focused. They are 100% obsessed with God and his glory and self-forgetfulness! It's the best and I cannot WAIT to spend my summer with them!
I'll be posting more about SIFAT, I'm sure, as I walk through the coming preparation stages.
YAY!!!!
You Go Girl! You are so deserving and I can't wait to hear more about it!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so very proud of you. What an incredible opportunity for you to experience this kind of summer. It will be one you'll never forget. Sifat is blessed to have you and God will bless you beyond measure there. Do they have a praise and worship band? How about the need for Spanish speaking counselors? You could do it all! Love you...
