Rob and Heather Blanks MOZAMBIQUE

I am back from my short trip to Mozambique!  It was a mind blowing thirteen days!  Thank you for your prayer!  I would love to share more about the trip with you.  Please email me for that information.  Thanks!

As many of you know, I have had the opportunity to do an internship under Hans Finzel, President of WorldVenture.  I cannot thank Hans enough for this opportunity.  

This experience impressed upon me the vital and difficult role of leadership and administration.  He showed me the value of vision and long-term planning in leadership.  I was particularly struck by Hans’ transparency and genuineness in life, ministry, and leadership.  

Thank you, Hans, for this internship.  

Thank you, Hans, for your leadership at WorldVenture.

The WorldVenture family is so blessed to have you.  May God’s favor and blessing be upon you.

Earlier this year Heather and I were interviewed on “Missions on the Frontline” Radio Program.  Hans Finzel was so gracious to host us.  Thank you Hans!

It was definitely a new experience.  We had to speak through a pop filter, which is a little  wire screen between your mouth and the microphone.  This screen is placed a couple of  inches from your mouth.  Using a pop filter was a trip.  I kept thinking I was going to bite it.  Adding to the awkwardness for me was that it is impossible on the radio, obviously, to make eye contact with your audience.  I did not know where to look.  I kept looking at the pop filter and the microphone, but that made my eyes cross.  It was nerve wracking in a new fun sort of way!  

If you venture, you can listen to the programs: Rob and Rob and Heather.  As you listen, try not to think of me with my eyes crossed trying to eat the mic…
