It has been a pleasure to follow your journey here on WND. Four of you left to serve, none of you returns the same. “God calls us out of the life we have known and calls us to a life we have never imagined.” (Erwin McManus, Soul Cravings destiny, entry #7). You will recall these days for ever…

Let’s see, leave with three, come back with none – but all (including you) are more experienced kingdom proclaimers. Yep, I’d say “they shoot, they score!”.

I agree w/ Eness. If they all came back the same, WND would have been ineffective. You have led them very well!

I don’t think you should feel too bad about coming back alone, Barry. All three of those amazing interns are about to go to three different parts of our world and share their experiences. I think in one trip you’ve managed to pretty much define what WND is all about. That is awesome. I’m proud of you, friend. Great job.

The cool part was when the needle was rubbing against his ribs . . . wow. Scott’s condition had this nurse in a near panic until you said he’s back in the states. Smart move. So heartbroken it happened, but glad he’s back. That’s major stuff. In fact, each of you is “major stuff” with “the right stuff” and I am honored and grateful to have been taking this journey with you, albeit virtually. Amazing, though, how the virtual can so tangibly wrap around my heart through the beauty and passion of all your words, photos and faces. Lifting you up and covering you in prayer in these final days of this stretch of the journey. Traveling mercies to you all!!!

Man Barry, you picked some pretty amazing interns for your first batch! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all they’ve written and hearing their stories of life change.

So sorry to hear that Scott’s condition was bad enough that it required him to come home. But I suppose if you’re going to sit in a hospital recovering it’s better to do it here at home with family and friends.

And yeah, I echo what Aaron said…leave with 3 interns but return with 1? Hmmm….

You could not have had a better three interns to start. A high bar has been set for all future interns. However…Leave with 3, return with one. Not good Barry. Not good at all.

Christine’s going to Italy? Wow. That sounds like a pretty sweet gig.

I didn’t realize Scott’s fluid was rust colored. That’s pretty gross. I hope he’s starting to rest and recover back home.

Jess will do a fantastic job embedded in Kenya! I’m excited that she enjoyed her summer enough to stay.
