Reflections

This newsletter is for 2 months because of the timing of our overseas trips. Back from a great trip to Monrovia , Liberia and off 4/27/12 to Uganda. We are expecting 150 pastors in each of two conferences near Entebbe and Kampala. Some of these pastors will have had Bible School or seminary education. Others will be pastoring without any formal training. All will be hungry to grow spiritually and eager [sitting hours on hard, narrow, wooden benches] to learn how to develop leaders and make disciples.

Some of these pastors will have over a thousand in their congregations and others might have 25. But they will come together in anticipation of learning and growing. We were talking about the privilege we have to make a sacred deposit in the lives of these men. Even if each of these 300 pastors only had 30 people in their congregation we would be reaching 9,000 people.     continue...
