I once said I would never go to China for our Father's work. While in college I ended up going on just such a trip. Of course it was through an IV Global Project.

Unfortunately, recently IV has gone postmodern gooey on me, by which I mean that all the student bible study teachers use your forbidden question, "Why do you think . . ." They get so irritated when I helpfully and repeatedly insist we look at what's actually in front of us.

My best and most-lasting friendships I were also made there. But probably the best thing I did was meet my husband there. :) I owe a huge debt to IV also.

And I did end up teaching for close to ten years at Logos School, and I loved it! But that is another story. Of course I now know that you never say what you will never, never do.

(I was thisclose to being an IV staff assistant post-college, but ended up working with a different ministry as a <a href="http://caresteam.org" rel="nofollow">CARES Team</a> with my husband. We're doing it again starting this summer!) It was only a few years ago that I graduated college (6?), but I am grateful for the inductive Bible study I learned from IV-- at least where I was, they taught us the same method that you learned. I especially loved reading the NT epistles with no chapter/verse numbers all at once. It was like a lightbulb went off: "Duh, it's a letter!" And even though I have come a long way from those college days (I never thought I'd be Presbyterian), IV set me on the road of proper Bible study, away from the "this is how I feel" camp and onto more exegetical roads. Yay for IV! Wow, we had similar experiences– I was also an English lit major and swore I would never, ever teach (ha!). :)
