ONS
So I just got back from ONS (InterVarsity’s Orientation for New Staff). Following my last post, let’s just say that ONS is brutal for an introvert. Large numbers of new people in your face all the time, and combine that with the majority of IV staff being extroverted leaves an introvert like myself utterly exhausted and feeling quite alone.
However God did teach me some great things in the past 10 days:
- how incredibly central mission/outreach is to everything we do as IV staff
- how fund raising is a gift that we have the blessing of sharing with our donors
- how to practically build a small chapter into a larger one through evangelism
amongst a lot of other things. It was good, but IV really needs to find a way for its introverts to survive ONS better. Now that I’m back home you’ll probably see more posts coming your way…
