It has been a very busy couple of weeks. We have been spending more and more time at our apartment, which did not have internet until yesterday, so there has been less opportunity for Skype, Blog, phone and email. We also had an incident with the laptop computer - the screen somehow got cracked - we were using it in the morning at our apartment, then packed it up to take it to the Maxwell's and when we got there, it was cracked. The Maxwells generously loaned us an external monitor, which we are able to use with the laptop. Praise the Lord, it is under warranty and will be repaired at no charge.
Last week we were in Rome for a week of meetings. We had a New Pastor's Orientation with the International Baptist Convention, followed by two days for the Convention's annual business meeting, followed by a meeting of LEAD Teams, where we do strategic planning for new churches around the world. It was an amazing time of learning, fellowship and forward-looking with a wonderful group of Christ-followers.
This week we have our kitchen installation on Thursday, a visit from a couple of friends from the States, and a meeting of our Darmstadt Church Plant Team. We have heard from some more interested people, including university students from Korea, and new arrivals from the US. Pray for us as we prepare to go to Madrid, where we will be speaking at the IBC Single's Retreat. We will update more when we catch our breath!
