As I sit here in the comfort of my North American home, I reflect on the adventure that just happened. A few thoughts come to my mind. Glen Pitts from Barrie, Ontario spoke on Thursday morning and said that "We have now experienced most of the world. This is the way most of the world lives." Why was I born in Canada? How can I use my resources more wisely to love others the way that Jesus did? Thanks Glen for speaking, I think we all need to join the rhino race :-)
Thursday afternoon, Gary Robinson, CEO of 3Fold Ministries, shared his vision for the Skylark Centre. The Skylark Centre is about People, Projects and Programs. What's next? Will be driven by need, Opportunity and Provision. In February, they are having a team of 28 medical people to serve the Nicaraguan people. They hope to impact 1600 lives through health checkups. Gary's vision is for this to become a regular occurrence - 6 medical teams coming throughout the year. This Centre is well planned and runs like a well oiled machine.
It was wonderful meeting everyone from all over Southwestern Ontario, Moosonee and Nova Scotia so far away from Canada. I loved the music and the evening chats. It was an honour to be involved in the conference and to learn from so many gifted people. Jason and I pray that God will give us the opportunity to visit again!
