Reflections on Cape Town 2010

Ben and I arrived home from Cape Town on Tuesday afternoon. It was a wind-blown entrance (later in the afternoon all but one of the MSP airport runways were closed due to the wind). We were thankful to be home.

The past few days have been a bit foggy. We've been back at work and trying to fit into a normal sleep pattern again. I know my body will acclimate soon.

More than that, I want my heart to sift through all the senses and sounds and lessons of Cape Town 2010 to fully absorb what the Lord may do in my own heart through the time. I may log some of those reflections here in the days ahead.

Thanks to you who prayed during our trip; so many requests were heard and answered. I hope to share some of those stories as well.

Writing from Cape Town

I am writing from Cape Town, South Africa, where we are preparing for Cape Town 2010: The Third Lausanne Congress on World Evangelization. It is a privilege to be a part of what God will do here.

My role here is to be a session summarizer, and the first session I am assigned to is "People at Work: Preparing to Be the Whole Church."

You can read an advance paper for this session here.

For the Fame of God's Name

Since all things are from Him, through Him, and to Him, God deserves and will be honored for all the evidences of grace in our lives.

At last weekend's Desiring God National Conference, Pastor John was surprised with a presentation of a book of essays in honor of his ministry. (One of the perks of being a ministry assistant is that I got to proofread David Livingston's article a couple years ago when this was being compiled!)

You can read more and watch the presentation of the book here.
