Renewal Conference
I am currently in Denver at WorldVenture’s annual Renewal Conference. The past two days have been pretty incredible as we have participated in a 2 day prayer summit with missionaries from around the world. It has been wonderful to simply sit at the feet of Jesus for 2 days.
Last night I went to dinner with several veteran missionaries. We had wonderful Indian food and great conversation. One of the most valuable parts of the conversation was the discussion on burn out and what a couple of the missionaries learned through it. Great thing to think about as I prepare to go.
If you read this post before Friday, please pray for Denver’s weather. I am to return to PDX Friday night and they are forecasting up to a foot of snow by then here in Denver.
oops!
On a daily basis I am reminded that God created me more as a big picture person rather than one who is easily aware of all the details. I have an old blog and just realized that I inadvertently posted to that one while in Colombia. If you haven’t seen my post (yes, there’s only one) from while I was in Colombia you may check it out at: http://isaiah117.wordpress.com/ Sorry for any confusion!
Base Camp – Littleton, CO
My mind is reeling as I have just returned home from 12 days at WorldVenture’s headquarters in Littleton, CO. It was an amazing, but pretty intense time of training. On Monday I sat for an interview which was the final step prior to my invitation to WorldVenture. As I went through each experience it confirmed my decision to partner with WorldVenture. As I mentioned, it was intense, but it made me realize that they are serious about sending people out who are well prepared for the field.
I feel like in the past 12 days I have stepped through a door that has completely changed life. I’m realy excited for what is ahead – prep for the field and eventually a move to Colombia! Please pray for me as I begin this next phase of partner development and personal preparation. I can hardly wait to get to Colombia, but know that this time of preparation is vitally important.
