Have been meeting with international co-workers to update our efforts and to think through ways of using our wider perspectives to help one another increase reach and impact in each of our regions.
Together we have once again found it so stretching and renewing to be able to consider the challenges and opportunities that stretch far beyond our own local and national boundaries.
Our hosts, this time, have been team members in England who have done a wonderful job in finding a quiet place to spend needed time for shared understanding and planning.
Each day has begun with a time of teaching led by local pastors and teachers. Has been so good to hear their deep spiritual commitment to Christ in a part of the world where so many have been disillusioned by, and lost interest in the Church and its message.
From the moment we arrived, have also been impressed with the natural landscape and creatures of our Father’s world.
The birds wake us up at 4:15 each morning with what may be their call to prayer.
Has given us a chance to begin the day with some reflection and exercise.
Along the way grabbed the chance to take a lot of pictures of rich grasslands, sheep with their spring lambs, cows, and a variety of natural wildlife.
Wherever we look we also find the seemingly endless rock walls that are both a tribute to human labor, and the rocks that tell their own story.
Now that meetings are over, have had a chance to move north and spend some time at a bed and breakfast in a rural setting of England’s famous lake country.
A full English breakfast followed by hikes on public footpaths has been a great way to grab a couple of vacation days before heading home.
