I am leaving this morning for Santa Rita abbey and I wanted to share with you a few highlights that are around the corner in the next three months
Antioch Network Gathering: On January 8-11 we meet for our semi-annual Gathering of the Antioch Network Council (Board), staff and ministry friends. Our days will be framed by a rhythm of prayer. The mornings will be devoted to prayerful meditation on Jesus’ teachings on Servanthood. In the afternoons we will hear from each other as we sense the Spirit leading. We are awed and humbled each time we meet like this to experience how God gives direction to the ministry.
Ongoing Development of ‘Apprenticeship to Jesus’ (A2J)
Trip to Bosnia: January 24th-February 4th, Vision Trip. Some of you met Mladden and Becki last month from Bosnia. I will be spending some extended time with Mladden and other leaders continuing to explore the possibility of bringing college age students to Bosnia as a part of ‘A2J’. I will also be visiting with and encouraging the many friends that I have built over the past 13 years of involvement with the Bosnian people.
Take My Life Conference: February 15th-16th this will be gathering of 500+ college age students at Southwestern College envisioning them for missions and service. I will be teaching two workshops with another AN staff on Discipleship.
Spring Break Trips: In March, we are exploring the possibility of taking college-age students on two trips to Nogales Mexico to work at the Cuirim House
Please continue to pray for our family and for the events of this next season. Would you also pray with us that God would raise up additional financial partners. We are grateful for your friendship, love, and support. Have a Merry Christmas.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel
who alone does wondrous things,
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may his glory fill the whole earth.
