John left this document out on the desk as he left my room (which is also his office) this evening. I was sure it was for me to peruse and so I did. I was curious to see what my salary would be if I were serving in the Diocese of Thika. Well if you’re trying to get rich . . . well don’t work for the church anywhere, but let’s just say I shouldn’t complain about my residency compensation package!
I figure my benefit package after three years of experience would be approximately 30,630. No I didn’t for get to add the dollar sign; I forgot to add Ksh for Kenyan schillings.
Ksh 30,630 is approximately $455/mo. Then there is a parish provided house and a very small medical reimbursement plan.
Why do I still feel drawn to this place? Why do I consider the possibility of investigating mission opportunity here? I can only say the Lord is calling me to wrestle with it all. I wonder, where my discernment will lead me?
The opening line of the next day’s morning prayer began: “I will give you as a light to the nations that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” That certainly woke me up!
