Many of you have been praying about my job search for the last 8 months and I greatly appreciate it. After many interviews with non-profits, churches and the business world, I have accepted a job with Metro Nashville Public Schools at Cole Elementary off Nolensville Road. The position is a No Child Left Behind Program Specialist (Title I Coordinator/Family School Coordinator). I will be keeping up with Federal money for the school and putting together a program to reach out to parents and get them involved in the school. Since the school's population is 40% Hispanic, it will give me an opportunity to put my experience from Honduras to action.
I have also been given a Memorial Fund Scholarship at Lipscomb to have my Master of Divinity fully paid for over the next few years. I started my Masters before we left for Honduras. I have 27 hours done of an 81 hour degree. This is a HUGE blessing! It is about a $50,000 gift. I will start classes again in late August.
I am looking forward to this opportunity and ask for your continued prayers in the transition to something I have never done before. I believe this will be really good for me right now and God has had a hand in putting me at Cole Elementary.
I just wanted to keep you informed since many of you ask me on a weekly basis what is going on in this front. I appreciate that more than you realize. God bless you.

Chad, I'm so thankful that you have found a job! It's kinda "interesting" coming back from doing mission work and not being able to find work...we know! :) I know this comes as a relief and I believe God opens and closes doors to fit into his plan, so...
