Our teaching team of ten gathered for the first time this afternoon in Minneapolis. From left to right: David, Ethan, Peter, Christy, Kyle, David, Christine, Bill, Meghan, Alex and Darren (Darren is President of TLI; he's not traveling along on this trip).
It was great to meet everyone face to face (Skype is nice, but in-person is so much better)! We spent time hearing everyone's faith story--and there were so many encouraging and amazing accounts of God's remarkable saving work and unique leading!! Our gracious and ingenious God really does weave an intricate and beautiful tapestry in his people's lives. Looking forward to the coming days with these new friends.
We fly tomorrow (Thurs.) morning to Toronto, and then later in the afternoon we'll catch a flight from Toronto to Athens (arriving there Friday morning).
Thanks for praying for me and the whole team--much appreciated.
Will post again as soon as possible from Athens.
