HIGHLIGHTS III: MIssionaries Galore

OK, one last picture from the World Missions Workshop, and then I'll move on to the latter half of our trip. I know three or four photos can't really convey the tone or spirit of a missions oriented event, and I haven't time or words to do more. Suffice to say the "happening" is in the heart and lives of those who are passionate about taking the Gospel to folk anywhere - sometimes afar in other countries - who need to hear and respond to God's calling them to holiness.

Some of you may know the fella at the left. He is Matt Miller, a member of the Kabiye team in Kara in north-central Togo. With him is an engaged couple, (also a) Matt and Grace, who are already beginning to focus on the foreign mission ministries in which they would like to become involved. These three were great fun to talk with, and I found their intensity to be refreshing and inspiring. They are representative of scores of potential missionaries who were in Lubbock to dream, plan, connect, seek information and guidance from more experienced individuals. From the Keynote talks to the smaller classes, to little, casual campus meetings and discussions like this one, WMW gives everyone a chance to be better informed about the "state of missions" by the churches today.

Why don't you plan to attend one of these wonderful gatherings in the next year or two?
