Twelve weeks gone already.
From Worldview with Landa Cope, to learning to design a magazine and record a radio broadcast, we have trudged through the various media and concepts that make up the field of journalism. We’ve laughed; we’ve cried . . . we’ve filled a bookshelf with our work.
Looking back, towards the beginning of the school there were various expectations. Ice cream socials, dance parties and fiestas? No, rather a time of dedicated writing and development, sharing experience and ideas, awakening new thoughts and creativity and exploring what it means to be a Kingdom Communicator. Over the weeks, staff and students found God speaking identity to them, as well as challenging them to the core. We have celebrated students' first publications and worked at developing skills that will prove vital to work in the field as communicators.
Looking ahead, there are still mountains to overcome. Field assignments are still being prayed over, finances prayed in and staff beginning to journey to various destinations, as this page turns and reveals another piece of the story. This is our time to be sent forth as communicators, carrying the heart and will of God to various locations and returning as compassionate storytellers, scribes of the work God is doing in the earth.
The lecture phase of the school is ending on a high note with a week of study in television, before graduation on Friday. As we all look back over the first quarter of this year and think about the things God spoke in the beginning, we are excited and pleased with life and His faithfulness. It is a happy ending, one that brings a sense of joyful completion to just a small piece of the puzzle.
I had to laugh at the bit about various expectations ... ah, so true ;-)
