Switching to Clergy/Minister status
Warm Greetings!
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas! I hope you & those you love were reminded often the One True Reason for the season and can carry the Hope of Christ in your everyday lives all year round. Hope has arrived once again just like the first Christmas. I will be praying you have a healthy and blessed New Year & Beyond!
I have some exciting news to share with you all. As of 12/19/22 OMF (U.S.) is commissioning me to serve as a minister of the Gospel and clergy of the church on this date, and that this commission means that OMF (U.S.) entrusts me with the responsibility of performing religious functions consistent with OMF’s religious beliefs. I'm blessed and grateful to have this opportunity to switch to clergy/minister status. As I serve as a Supported Home Staff with OMF (U.S.), I understand that my role includes the important religious functions these ministry activities qualify me to serve with OMF (U.S.) as a minister of the church. Please be praying that I will be able to carry out these new responsibilities and these important religous functions/ministry activities. Thank you to all of you who have chosen to financially support me in 2022 and made this all possible it truly means the world and keeps me going to Him! I hope & pray that as we step into a New Year, a new beginning that you will continue to partner alongside me walking with me & this TCK Ministry through the mountain highs & valley lows. I'm beyond grateful for each one of you. Know you that you are deeply loved & prayed for.
I've been working on various projects for my supervisor Jennifer. I have re-created the SHIP worksheet. SHIP is another version of RAFT with simpler language for kids (I will attach this SHIP worksheet below) I also have been editing the TCK Debriefing Course Module on Thinkific, going through the tertiary grant process of letting families of TCKs know they've been awarded the grants for higher education, and I edited and helped re-create a new job description for TCK Advisors. This is just a glimpse of the work I've been doing. If you ever have questions about the work I'm doing or want to learn more don't hesitate to reach out or send me an e-mail at victoria.vanantwerp@omfmail.com
The Hudson Taylor film project continues to move forward.
