It was crunch time – I was provisionally offered consultancy work in China but I did not have the experience for the team leader position. I did not want to refuse the team leader position if that was of God. As we prayed we were given 1Sam 12:16 “Stand Still and See this great thing the Lord is about to do before your eyes”. The company did win the tender and I was offered short-term ethno-forestry consultancy over 5 years (which I combined with PhD research)
