It has been nonstop for the last couple of days
from early morning to late at night so there has been no time for blogging. The
organization we are working with this week is amazing. About 1500 people were
gathered when we arrived, and Edie and I were immediately invited up to the
stage to hand out certificates to newly ordained pastors. Later I gave a
plaque to a man who had served the organization for 20 years. It was strange in
that no one there had ever seen us before. Stuart and Jill Brisco were there so
we were able to meet them. They were very kind and gracious. The leaders here
are outstanding and their organizational skill is tremendous. They are very
receptive to our program and enjoyed our teaching. Today we work on how to
organize to train as many of their 1500 pastors as possible. We will need the
Lord’s wisdom.
The hotel here has been “interesting”; no hot
water, bugs, dirt, etc. We call this part of the adventure. On the lighter side,
we try to include in our blogs the good, the bad and the funny. We returned
from training late and then the three of us men had a debrief session about the
day. At the end, I got up to go get my computer and do some emailing if
possible with the intermittent internet. We were meeting down the hall from our
rooms. I walked to my room, entered and saw a bottle of water on the desk and
because I knew I needed to be drinking I had a good drink. Then I went to the
closet to get my computer that I hide in our clothing while we are gone. When I
opened the door there was nothing at all in the closet. I was shocked,
momentarily thinking someone had stolen everything. I glanced into the room to
see if our other luggage was there and suddenly realized I was in the wrong
room. By God’s grace, it was the other trainer's room not someone else's. We had
a good laugh about that. I was able to provide the evening entertainment for
all.
I have to run; we are off for another day,
another adventure with the Lord.
