Visit to the US has just begun!

Judy and I arrived in Florida on the 20th, preached at the Miramar EFC on the 22nd and returned (Keith) from the EFCA conference in St. Louis a couple days ago. This week we will be working out of Dubuque, IA as we spend time with Keith's folks and sister. While in the US, we will be staying in touch with the office as well as visiting churches, supporters, and going to two weddings.

ProMETA Spiritual Retreat

Last night Judy and I returned from three intense, yet refreshing, days of meetings. As a team, we escaped to the mountains above San Jose and met with retreat leaders (members of the Paraclete ministry) from Colorado Springs. We were guided in a process designed to strengthen as well as develop habits, skills and disciplines in growing to be more like Christ. Now, as we return to the routines at the office, our desire is to bring those habits and skills with us in such a way that the unmistakable character of Christ fills our building! We truly enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of our meetings as well as the interaction we had with each team member. God met with each one of us. Thanks for your prayers.

ProMETA Annual Team Meeting

Last week the Lord gave us a fantastic time as a time as we met for over four days of meetings. Most of our time was spent in training staff in the production of courses as well as rolling out the details of Vision 2011. We sensed God's presence throughout the meetings and as we closed the final meeting we broke out in singing "Great is Thy Faithfulness!" Please pray that the results of our time together will have a huge impact on our progress and God's blessing these next three years. And thanks for praying!
