More Thoughts

Today I had the honor to spend about two hours with Jay Wittmeyer, who is the Executive Director of Global Mission Partnerships. I cannot begin to tell you all I learned today and all I have swirling in my mind that I want to learn more about.

I have to admit that I am almost innocent of the knowledge I should have regarding missions in the COB. I have concentrated so much of my energy on Haiti that I have neglected many, many other areas of the world where the COB is making a major impact. But now that my mind is grasping little nuggets of info, I am so starving for more. (It's kind of like chocolate.)

Anyway, I learned today that we have something "new" forming in Spain. SPAIN!! If that doesn't get cha, how about NORTH KOREA!!? Wait.... Ukraine? How about updates on Nigeria, Sudan, India (both churches)? Did you know about the COB's impact on the current International Ecumenical Peace Convocation in Jamaica? Nope, me neither.

Such well kept secrets going on, that the people in the pews are unaware of. I'm one of those peeps and I am highly interested in Mission work. So in the coming months, as I dig, scrape and otherwise mine, I'll try to share with you what I learn.

This is life in our family. This is what will make us matter when all the other stuff doesn't. This is what defines what I WANT TO BE ABOUT. Don't you?

Til next time :)

PS... Thanks for the invite, Marty. Can't wait til my brain tells my feet where to go first. My heart is already going in 100 different directions.
