I am doing well.\u00a0 I have finished chemo and radiation and I’m past the fatigue and drag that came with treatment.\u00a0 So I’m back\u00a0 working full time with SIL Int’l and Wycliffe Bible Translators.\u00a0 Fortunately I\u00a0 am working with a multicultural and virtual team that is spread from Hong Kong to the UK.\u00a0 So I’m able to work from Huntington Beach and while it requires some travel, it’s not a lot.\u00a0 I am so grateful to be back to work!!!\u200b<\/p>\n
\u200bThe\u200b \u200bproject I’m working on is called\u00a0 Relational NGOs\u00a0 \u200bor ReNGOs. \u00a0It’s a \u00a0joint effort between SIL Mainland Asia and SIL International Anthropology.\u00a0 We believe that relationships make a difference in everything we do.\u00a0 Because of this, our aim is to help leaders recognize multicultural differences within their relationships and measure, monitor, and improve the quality and health of organizational and inter-organizational relationships.<\/p>\n
ReNGOs uses an innovative, people-centered, data-driven method to help multicultural teams and organizations understand the complex cultural dynamics within their team or organizational relationships.\u00a0 These robust metrics give organizations\/teams tools to measure the actual quality of their internal and external relationships.\u00a0 This provides a common way to talk about multi-cultural relationships, thus enabling leaders to monitor and affirm good relationships or discover keys to their sticky relationships.\u00a0 It gives them new insights into ways to move forward in a safe and\u00a0 respectful environment because relationships matter.<\/p>\n
\u200bLast month we were able to \u200bhelp an Asian board and western senior staff of an international school in Hong Kong reconcile and come back together to continue working at the school.\u00a0 It was an amazing time of seeing humble Christian workers talk through their differences, apologize for their frustration and anger and commit to work together again.\u00a0 In many ways it feels like being in the front row, watching God move and bring people together.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s pretty fun!\u00a0\u00a0We’re currently gearing up for 3 more engagements in Asia over the next 4 months.\u00a0 We will be busy and I’d have it no other way.<\/p>\n
Trust you all are well.\u00a0 I was driving down Bushard the other day and saw you all had changed your name to The Fount.\u00a0 It’s a\u00a0 lovely name and wonderful reminder of the life giving water we find in Christ.<\/p>\n
Blessings,<\/p>\n
