First Days at Work

I started work at UTF (United Theological Faculty - a college within the Bulgarian Evangelical Theological Institute) on Tuesday and will be working there 3 days a week. The other two days I will have language class in the morning and work from home in the afternoon.

Here are some of the projects I will be working on:

Create Job Descriptions for those who work at the Institute and then create Job Descriptions for positions that are needed at the Institute. We need to define what UTF currently has and then develop a strategic plan for what they need.

I will also work on developing an Alumni Association/Network to ensure that UTF will have the ability to continue to Encourage, Enable and Equip the current alumni. The project will also have recruiting and fund raising elements.

UTF is actually a large house. The house construction began in 1990 with Communists funds. Once communists fell in 1991 there were no funds to finish the house. The mission then bought the half constructed house and finished it to serve as a school with classrooms, a chapel and a kitchen.

My office is in the upper loft with a few other guys. Check out the stairs to get to my office. Maybe you all need to be praying that I donÂ’t break my leg going to work each day.

I know this does not look like “hands on” missions, but my hope is that we can positively impact the school to run more efficiently and effectively – thus resulting in more students learning the gospel and saving lives.

Thank you for allowing me to do this.

In His care,

Marc
