Hi, our church is small right now and has a lot of older members with sick relatives. No, they might take up an offering for me to get me started but wouldn't be able to support me consistently. They might be able to send some every once in a while but not consistently. I don't want to minister exclusively to the blind, though, but you're right, I'm sure places in Africa would need teachers of braille and stuff. I'm familiar with Mormon beliefs, but I'm a Pentecostal Christian and the two are pretty different. Thanks for your time and suggestions. Have a blessed day. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Karen Rose" <rosekm@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Won't your church fund you for Bible college? Alternatively, there are manyorganizations that provide missionaries to blind people in various countries. Could you contact some of those organizations (many are in Africa), and see if they need anyone to teach English, or English Braille, or something like that? As a last resort, I don't know much about Christianity, but I think the Mormons, Church of Latter Day Saints, allow any Mormon to "go on mission" to various parts of the world, if you happen to like their brand of Christianity. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jamie Prater Sent: Thursday, November 19, 2009 7:46 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: jobs and jaws and working at home Hi, I'd be a missionary right now. I've wanted to be a missionary since I was 13. Funding for the Bible college I want to go to has been the mainthing that has stood in my way. I think I could work around the rest of theobstacles that would come up. I've tried to save up money in my 11 years ofmedical transcription to help pay for this but haven't been able to due to work seesawing and my not being able to type enough lines.

How well does jaws work in the online environment that classes are set in? Even if I did a combination of online and at site stuff, I'm willing to go back to school as soon as I figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Any of you smart jaws users out there got any suggestions? If so, please write or skype me.
