getting around

Hi all. Sorry I have not been blogging regularly. I have bee so busy and have had little time to blog and interact with my friends here at tfw blog. I have been in three time zones in one week. Having a great time…

1. Was in Oz with my family and tribe (Forge). Had a great grassroots conference. But saying hi’s and goodbye’s (again!)  was very emotionally exhausting.

2. Was deeply involved at Exponential in Orlando last week. This was a fantastic meeting of over 2500 church planters and CPM leaders. Very special.

3. Am now in Germany with Novavox. Had a world cafe creativity sessions with some of the brightest missional practitioners I have ever met.

4. Onto Sweden on Tuesday to be with Interact Youth and Swedish Baptists and then finally home to LA.

I feel a great sense of privilage in seeing some of the most amazing projects and churches and meeting some of the best people in the world! I am very thakful…and tired. Thanks for your support, prayers, and patience.

    Yikes! What an adventure. Make sure you carve out a bit of “sabbath” when you hit LA at last.

    Sure is. I love what I am doing at the mo, but the pace is not godly.

    Yeah, there’s a need to rebalance at some point. Your father was a wandering Aramaen, and your Messiah was an itinerant preacher, but they travelled by foot… none of this flitting around between time zones!

    Yeah, Alan, I saw your intinerary for this year and thought about the demands it would make on your total self… body, soul, spirit, and also thought about your lovely supportive wife! It’s an incredible privilege you have, to get world snapshots of Missio Dei, and you were designed to handle it, or God wouldn’t bring the opportunities your way, I reckon. Keep up the fluids, and make sure you get some physical exercise, won’t you? Your spirit might be soaring with all the stimulation, but your body and soul need some processing time to catch up, hey? Andrew’s and my prayers are with you and Deb. Look forward to keeping up with your adventures via this blogspot. Lucy J (Sydney)
