Still Alive

Well, I haven't posted in a longer time than I would have liked, but I am still alive. I am currently working at Lincoln Christian University, acting as their Missionary-in-Residence, which, roughly, means that I am "in charge" of helping students understand their role as ministers and missionaries. I am also helping lead a worldview class, which is immensely fun.

In the meantime, I am working on the several pilot programs IRI has scheduled for the next 12 months. The closest up is the one in December in South Africa, which seems to be progressing well. The other three are in Hong Kong, the Philippines, and Myanmar in 2014. I am working with our board member in Hong Kong on the pilot there, and Al is setting up the other two. In addition, I have at least two leads I am working on which may result in pilot seminars in the U.S. sometime in the next 8-12 months. If all goes well, I can use these seminars to train some additional presenters to help us cover the increase in work we will experience when the pilots we have scheduled provide us with proof-of-concept for educators in South Africa and Hong Kong.

So things are going well, and I am busy. Speaking of which, it is time to get back to grading - it turns out my students actually want to know how well they do on their assignments. Imagine that.
