Leslie and I find ourselves in the middle of a 3 city trip! We started in Houston, where we visited family and friends for the weekend. We then drove to Dallas for NAMB's SEND North America Conference. The conference was wonderful, encouraging, and exciting. It was amazing to see over 4,000 people all gathered with the purpose of starting new churches. It encourages me! We then flew yesterday to Jacksonville, NC to visit and encourage our church planting friends and partners Brian and Kelly O'Day. They are planting a church near the marine corp base here. It has been a great time so far getting to stay with them, see their family, how they interact, and talk life/ministry. I am so encouraged to see them as they raise 3 young children, a sibling group, that they adopted. Amazing.
I am blessed to get to be around and encourage so many planters in so many different places. The Lord is stirring in so many spots. We are honored just to be a part of what he is doing.
