A Return

I know...it's been way too long since I've written...I think I needed a break from it and so haven't blogged in quite awhile plus I took a good chunk of time off in September to get some rest with my friend, Kristin, who came to visit. It was sooo good to have her here...but more on that later.

Today I head to Santa Cruz to meet Jeff Carter, CBM field staff in the Czech Republic. He'll be here until November 11th to speak at the national youth conference/convention that is taking place later this week in Cochabamba. It's been about 20 years or so since he spent four months here as a volunteer...to say he's excited to be returning is an understatement :) He'll be speaking twice regarding youth and technology as well as a challenge to youth and integral mission and I'll be part of a symposium on teen ministry. Once the conference ends, we'll be traveling to Sucre, Potosi, and Tarija to do a workshop on the Call to be a Youth Worker including promotion of the online training program for youth leaders, Horizons.

I ask that you be praying for Jeff's safety in traveling as well as our travel throughout his time here. We'll be meeting with many leaders and potential leaders both at the convention as well as afterwards throughout the cities we'll be visiting. Please pray for good conversations, an openness to the ideas and Horizons in general. Please pray for health and basically good brain power :) Oh, and sleep would be a good thing :)

As well, November 19th at 5pm will be our kick-off combined service for the teen ministry, Vida Joven!!! Please be praying that all the details come together. I'll write more on this later.

Will keep you posted on how everything is going...

blessings,
