When I came to this Island my intention had been to start a blog straight away to document the year I was intending to spend here, a year out from my career path, a year to serve God, but life got in the way. Then at Christmas I thought I'll start it in the new year to record the time I have left here before I figure out where I am to go next. Now it is almost Easter and I have finally started it. My plan for a year out before I return to the NHS has now turned into at least two years, and the NHS couldn't be further from my current future plans. In the seven months I have spent here I have learnt so much and God has changed my mind from what I had believed to be my future. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world and spend my days teaching and being taught by some of the worlds most interesting people, kids. I love to see their take on the world and what goes on around them.
The work that goes on here, of which I am only one small part, can be very hard. We are working with a generation that has been taught that faith is not important and has little or no value in life, a generation that has been taught to expect immediate results and does not like to wait, a generation who are take, take, take not give, give, give. However as God promised the remnants will remain. We also work with kids who are passionate for God, kids who long to see their nation changed, and kids who shine for God in every situation they are in.
We pray for a changed nation, a nation that will stand for God's truths above all else and a nation that will stand united, across generations, under God's word. This is future is possible but not easy
