IMB...ISC or Volunteer???

That's the question right now. (FYI...IMB = International Mission Board (of the Baptist General Convention) and ISC = International Service Corps, 2-3 year international missionary assignment) Because of the large presence of mission organizations in Kenya, and specifically Nairobi, there are very few IMB possitions in the Nairobi area. So short story...if I go IMB, I will basically have to choose between going with the awesome benefits & opportunities with ISC - going to, possibly, Tanzania, Uganda or the Kenyan coast (which is beautiful), OR going as an IMB volunteer - less stable, as far as benefits of the program, but able to serve at some of the places I would LOVE to be involved with in the Nairobi area. Another big factor: fund-raising. ISC is a salaried possition; volunteering is obviously not. But, most full-time mission positions are not salaried; they require financial support of ministry partners. So...more things to make my head spin!! Please be praying for wisdom as I continue to go through this process. There are so many other options and things to consider, but I would love to work with the IMB, if that is what the Lord has planned.
