"A Great Place to Study Theology"

We're packing our bags!*

This September I will heading back to the far side of the sea to attend Nazarene Theological College in Manchester, England (a great place to study theology!). I'll be working toward a Masters in Theology, with an emphasis in Social Justice & Compassionate Ministry. It's a one year program, and will contribute to my course requirements for ordination.

...Also, it's in England.  (Check out pictures of campus here. No, you will not fit in my luggage.)

I'll be living with these lovely people:

I met David & Leanne last December at NYC UK. They've been a tremendous help in this process, both with applying to school and helping me feel at home in their home - before I even get there. And their only request in return was that I bring them a few packets of blue jello. 

In the month left before takeoff, my biggest request is for prayer (and if you live nearby, maybe help with packing?) - this is by far the biggest transition of my life, in the shortest amount of time. I am beyond excited about this next year, but the to-do list between here and there seems to be growing longer instead of shorter, and there are a lot of details to finalize and things to wrap my head around (What is Tesco? Will I ever taste real Mexican food again? Why is there white fluffy cold stuff on the ground?). 

Updates will posted here, or look for #beachestoBritain on a social media platform near you.



*Actually, just me. Leo is staying here in San Diego for the time being. He's not pleased, as you can see.
