Since my trip to Rwanda is almost over, I want to update you on its current state and what I am thinking in regards to the future. Over the past month I have been reflecting a lot about the future of Global Capacity and what makes sense at this time. I know 110% that this is my calling and I am so excited to continue my work in Rwanda! With this in mind, I have also been considering the poor economic state of our country. Financial giving to non-profit organizations is low, which I need to take into account as we fundraise for Global Cap. I have decided not to pursue a full-time job exclusively with Global Cap, as I feel it would be unwise because of the possibility of the difficulty in fundraising. I arrived at this decision largely because Good Steward Software will be funding Global Cap exclusively in the beginning, until we raise funds for it to be self-sustainable. This is a big burden for Good Steward to carry, as it would be funding my salary as well as monies for Global Cap's programs. I feel like I would be taking a lot of resources away from Good Steward, without contributing much to its revenue.
I have taken a full-time job at Good Steward, wherein Global Capacity will be one of my job responsibilities. I think this will greatly benefit Global Capacity because most funds raised for Global Capacity can go exclusively to its programs because there wouldn't be many overhead costs (my salary, etc). That means more secondary school students can get scholarships, more educational materials can be purchased for schools, and more English teachers can be hired! My father and I have been discussing my new job position roughly, and I will let you know more later.
Thank you all for praying for me over the past 5 months, as I have been in Rwanda doing the initial development work for Global Capacity. I could not have done this without you. I have accomplished more than I thought I would, which is a reason I am coming home early; a very successful trip!
