Life Changing Moment

Years ago, I decided I was never, ever going back to advertising. And decided to become a misionaire, and go into the full time ministry, which I did for 4-5 years. Now, I feel an urge I can't explain to go back to my roots. Been offered a job at Excell Ogilvy as a creative copywriter for Coca-Cola and other worldwide brands. My days at Samaritan's Purse are getting grey and sad for all this counseling and not being able to present a real solution to these people is killing my strenght. Here at my country, people with aids can't get real good medicine, they're sending crap to the people here and expect us to give hope when we don't have the tools. Our customers are dying, not of aids but of all the other sicknesses that the pills produce. And if they are healthy because they have enough food, their families reject them. It's a no way out situation and I'm tired of giving bad news. If they call me, I probably will take the job.
