Yesterday we had a BRICC get-together to welcome some new members of the team.
The first to arrive was Josh, an accountant from the UK. The word accountant produces all sorts of images but being out on the mission field is not one of them. Josh is a Godsend. He's making sense of the BRICC "accounts" and setting up a system that should keep us straight once he leaves in June. He and his doctor wife Hannah have been highly welcome and extremely useful so don't despair if you're an accountant, God could have a place for you overseas bringing hope to poor missionaries who need hand-holding through financial systems.
Jeremy and Katie arrived in Jos from the US last week and will stay until July. He's a musician who's also worked as a barista, she has experience in counselling so I'm hoping for a BRICC coffee shop with musical interludes. One of the good things about BRICC is that there's a place for everyone, it's just a matter of identifying it.
Finally there was Esther, a Nigerian lady who's going to be the BRICC book-keeper, trained by Josh to keep us all in order. I don't envy her at all!
