Lots of Little Things to Do

Yesterday was a tad of a busy day. We began with a breakfast meeting with missionaries friends with CAM Ministries and with our fellow NAB missionary colleagues, Moises and Carolyn, to see how we might be able to work with each other in church planting efforts. There was alot of free flowing ideas and we all came away from the meeting pleased. Doctrinally and in terms of personalities, I'm quite sure we will work well together and that we share many of the same ideas of how to effectively church plant. I'm really getting excited about our plans and goals. I've added a few new links on the sidebar that deal with church planting movements and house churches. From that meeting, Moises and I were off to the retreat centre to see the work that our electrician, Celestino, had been doing. He wired what is likely going to become our Centre's workshop and he added large outdoor lights to the "campo" (field) where the kids play soccer. When the sun went down", the lights went on and we joked around that it was like a stadium! These lights will provide greater opportunity to use the grounds and expand our programming during kids' camps in the summer. From there we went to have a small taco break and then went to the church where Moises and Celestino's son attached our new signs to the church. There is a large sign on the west wall with all the activities displayed and on the north wall above the door is a smaller sign that just says the name of the church. We finished quite late and had to rush back to the northwest side of the city to drop me off at home and pickup Caroline so they could meet her parents at the airport around midnight. They arived here safely and already have visited our house to see the mountain top view from our porch of the world's largest city.
