The coming two weeks (almost) in Honduras will go along way toward taking some of the pressure off a really busy May-June. Associate minister interviews, Mother’s Day, Senior Graduation activities, small groups, Memorial Day weekend–all have been a part of a grueling church schedule. In the meantime, I managed a week in Honduras during mid-May to teach on the Baxter Seminar, work with the strategic planning initiative I am overseeing for the Association and its works at Baxter and the JMA Clinic, and to assist with the presidential transition.
Now another two weeks of strategic planning and transition oversight are ahead, capped by a couple of days at Quest at Oklahoma Christian University in Oklahoma City. The topic for the sessions I will teach is “Current Trends and Directions in Ministry”. Wow! How different is ministry now than it was 40+ years ago when I began. Constantly new skill sets, changing expectations, incredible opportunities, new challenges. New temptations, increased need for accountabilities….some days, the list of things that show up on the ministry plate is unbelievable!
Pray for success in these kingdom undertakings! Thank you for your love and support and encouraging words. May God bless us as we seek kingdom involvement in things that matter for eternity.
