Our Meeting Place

When asked to give one word to describe our time at Enrichment 09 it was clearly “Connections.”  Connecting to NTM International, coworkers, and innovative ideas for partnership development.

This was our first year to attend an event at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Missouri.  We learned many things.

Also walking all over the campus (up and down hills) the hot muggy air made all your clothes stick to you.  We were so thankful that the apartment we stayed in had a bathtub and air conditioning.  Both were used numerous times a day.

We also learned the value of living with margin.  There were some great sessions offered in the afternoon, but we found them leaving us exhausted.  Having our good friends the Halls there to help with childcare made all the difference.  We REALLY appreciate their servant’s heart.  Next time we will glean all we can from the morning sessions and then use the afternoons to enjoy the campus and our kids instead of running ourselves into the ground.

The best part of the week was reconnecting with a family that was in Missions Institute when we were on staff at Jersey Shore, Darren and Cindy Spence.  We were able to spend an evening with them hearing what God is doing in their lives and encouraging them to keep pressing onPraise God for the part you have played in equipping this family through our ministry.
