The national missionary convention was this weekend. Katie and I got the oportunity to go. At first neither of us had plans to go, but just in the last three weeks we made arrangements to go. We left wednesday night and drove thru, and arrived at 7am in Cincinnati.
The convention was refreshing. There were a lot of workshops on InnerCity work and Urban work. It was encouraging to meet other people that are working in the same area of ministry that we are, people that have moved into lower income neighborhoods and been a light in those places. But the most encouraging thing of all is the fact that they have not only been doing it long term, they have been successfull in developing boundries, strategies, connections and credibility.
One of our favorite speakers this weekend was Bart Campolo he was encouraging and spoke with the honesty that i sometimes feel i could shout to those who see what is going on at God's Resort but arent doing anything.
I am sure that Katie will have a lot more to say on the subject. We will be waiting for her post soon.
