Two weeks ago, I graduated from the Missions Training Center and received my degree in Intercultural Ministries. As of January 1st, I am officially a member of New Tribes Mission! Looking back over the last fourteen years, I can see God&#8217;s grace and goodness in my life as He has led me to this point, and I am encouraged to know that God will lead in the future just as He has in the past. After all, this is not the end&#8211;it is a beginning. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What now?&#8221; you may be asking. That&#8217;s a good question, and the answer is rather anti-climactic. Next week, I will return to Missouri for a semester of Linguistics. This course will prepare me to analyze one of the unwritten languages in Papua New Guinea in preparation for doing Bible translation. Lord willing, I will leave for Papua New Guinea next January (2013) to begin a church-planting ministry focused on Bible translation and discipling ladies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After fourteen years of praying, planning, and preparing to serve God as a missionary, I&#8217;m finally a missionary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":920,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-uncategorized","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/920"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ethnos360.org\/promise-vaughan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
