Did Anything Good come out of Iceland’s Volcanic Dust?

This blog is less about volcanic dust than about positive outcomes of short term mission. Perhaps there has been more than enough said on the blogosphere about  short term mission – so why write another blog?

Because I love a good news story!

Wycliffe Engage Indonesia 2010

Having had a number of short term mission experiences, including the Wycliffe Engage team to Indonesia in 2010, X contacted us last week, came to visit and told us that it was time to apply to Wycliffe for linguistic training.

So what has this to do with Icelandic volcanic dust clouds? Our Engage orientation weekend was just days after the Thursday when dust clouds totally disrupted air traffic around the UK and Europe. X was one of the brave few who actually got to the weekend.

For me, this is definitely a short term mission good news story. Now all we have to do is pray X through the application process while completing final year at university.
