Argentina, Albania and Adios Florida

Argentina – Marie attended a global gathering of our digital missionaries

We listened with rapped attention as missionary after missionary shared how God is opening doors for them to reach people for Christ using digital tools around the world, especially also in places that we traditionally have limited mission activity due to opposition. Sammy from Ethiopia told how their small little team led a social media campaign for one month, inviting people to an event where they would train people how to do evangelism. Twelve thousand people showed up!

I taught two training sessions and just enjoyed the interactions and also the great Argentinian food and tango!

Albania – Stefan joined our Eastern European church planters for planning and training

It’s been a roller coaster two weeks as I have been connecting with our church planting leaders across Europe. We were discussing training of churches, the challenge of a post-Christian/post-modern society and the lingering results of communism on the church today. We concluded that God is at work, even though it is harder here to see fruit than in other parts of the world. We look forward to seeing how God will use our strategies to see the harvest come in.

Adios Florida – Goodbye Florida for the next few months

We left the hot and humid Florida for sunny South Africa. We look forward to connecting with our family and ministry partners over the next two months. We hope to make some stops in the Vaal Triangle, Secunda, Cape Town, Durban and Gauteng and it would be lovely to see as many of you as possible.
