Moses Quit

I was on the phone with Moses the other night. We had a lot to talk about because that morning he had sent me an email saying he had quit his job. The note was ambiguous. I got him on the line:

"Yes, Matt. I have met with the elders of the church and I told them I have resigned as Pastor. Now I feel much better. My duties with the church were like a weight dragging me down. I can now fully dedicate what is in my heart to Kiva."

This was a moment where, in the past, I might have panicked in light of this huge sacrifice. Instead I just listened for more.

"I am off to Tanzania."

This project has definitely taken on a life of its own.
