4 of our staff from Germany and Spain flew over for various lengths of trips, to visit churches and share the vision of what we're doing with Connexxion. Above are: Jake (former exchange student in Sevilla & active in Connexxion there for 1 year; from Wyoming), Abraham (staff, Sevilla), Charlie Anne (she runs the Student Work Development Foundation office in Norman, OK, where people invest in our ministry), and Maggie & Hendrik (staff leaders, Sevilla).
We spent times during our meals and such with great leaders, such as the "kingpin" of the whole Life Impact conference idea, Max Barnett. He and Sandra have touched so many lives with their ministry for over 35 years in Oklahoma with collegiates, and he's now leading campus ministry for Colorado.
Dad was one of the teachers for a main session. There were about 340 students and campus leaders attending this week. They had to create 2 overflow rooms because of the demand.
What do you know?! Sort of a metaphor for life-- we're sitting on the "balancing rock" at Garden of the Gods, just a stone's throw from Glen Eyrie, where the conference was held.
What an amazing team I'm privileged to work with in Europe. (above, Birthe, on staff with Connexxion in Braunschweig; me, Hendrik, Maggie, Abraham, & Jake). Jake studies at Moody in Chicago but took extra time to drive Abe up to Wyoming where he shared with 3 churches about Connexxion. Now Maggie and Hendrik have gone out to California and then to Jacksonville, FL, where they're speaking in churches literally "coast to coast" about reaching post-modern students in Europe with the Good News.
