5 on Friday, Q & A Style

Happy Friday Y'all

Today I'm joining AprilNatashaand Christina for their 5 on Friday linkup. 



And I'm sharing 5 of my most frequently asked questions, as of late.

~ one ~ 

When will you be back in the States?

I'll land June 9th and will fly out again on August 4th. That will give me exactly 8 weeks from touch down to take off. And while it seems like a long break, it's actually a short amount of time to get done everything I need to do.

~ two ~ 

What will you be doing in the States?

I will be connecting with churches and individuals who support my ministry here in Dakar. I will be speaking at various churches during my time back, sharing my heart for the incredible group of kids God's allowed me to work with. I'll be fundraising, raising the rest of the funds needed to keep me on the mission field, doing this work. And I'll also be reconnecting with family and friends and soaking up time spent with them, and maybe even making a trip or two to Chick-fil-A while I'm there :)

~ three ~ 

How many students will you have next year?

We don't really know yet. I could have anywhere from 6 to 10 at this point. And that's only counting the ones I'm aware of. You never know if others might apply over the summer... It all just depends on a whole lot of factors. But there's one thing I do know... Whether I have 6 or I have 60 (oh dear Lord), I will be doing what God called me to do. And that is a wonderful, wonderful feeling :)

How do we financially support your ministry?

Click HERE to donate online (either as a one-time donation or as a recurring monthly commitment). Or if you'd prefer to not do so online, send me an email at enichols85@gmail.com and I can send you the address to do that.

How can we pray for you?

Help me pray for all the little details to fall into place for planning for this upcoming school year. I, obviously, want to take in any student I can because I want them all to have the same opportunity for education as their typically-abled peers. But I also can't overextend myself to the point that I burn out and end up not good for any of them. Help me pray that the right amount of students (according to God) get accepted for my class. Help me pray for wisdom and guidance for me in mapping out my curriculum for the coming year. And on those lines... It'd be really, really nice to know exactly how many students (and who they are) I'll have before leaving for the summer. That way I can better plan for them. So, help me pray that that happens... 

And past that, help me pray for a good end to this current school year. My students will be finished on June 1st. Then I'll have a week of teacher work days, where I'll be closing up my classroom for the summer, finishing up last minute paperwork, and doing a bit of prep work ahead of time for next year.

And one last thing... Help me pray for safe travels as I travel back to the US in a couple weeks. Thankfully, my flying time won't be outrageously long, but still...

And now, do you have any other questions? 

These 5 are ones I get all the time from supporters, from family and friends back home, from others, etc. But I'm sure there are other questions. So ask away :)
