World Mission Workshop



This past weekend Ellen and I traveled to the World Mission Workshop in Edmond, Oklahoma. It was such a blessing to be there. It just so happens that the couple (the Lukkasons) that is considering joining our missions team lives in Edmond and is going to school at Oklahoma Chrisitian University, the host of the workshop.

Ellen and I enjoy so much the company of the Lukkasons. We all continue praying for God's will to be made known about whether we should partner together.

The workshop was such a great experience. Hundreds of likeminded students and others gather together for a weekend of lectures, classes, worship, interest groups, prayer, etc. The biblical text that the weekend was centered around was Revelation 5:9, ". . . from every tribe and language and people and nation." A beautiful image of what heaven will look like.

In other missions news, ACU and Halbert Institue for missions will be presenting teams in formation tomorrow night. Our team will be part of the showcase.
