This weekend I had the amazing opportunity to attend Jesus to the Nations, a missions conference here in Halifax. The speakers this year were Don Richardson (Peace Child) and Wagdi Iskander (a converted Muslim).All I can say it that it has been an amazing weekend. God has given me a lot to think about.
Please pray for me, as it means making decisions the concern my future. I plan on being in Halifax for a minimum of two-three years, but these are long range plans that in a sense have to be made now, so that the ball will be easier to get rolling when the time comes… things like saving for a vehicle, and possibly more education. I also need to be diligent with my language learning….
On my facebook I added the quote about how a visitor to a monastery was told, “If you need anything, let us know and we'll teach you how to live without it."
I found it slightly ironic when I entered the washroom and heard two teenage girls talking about straightners and how much time they had spent on their hair that morning. …Oh the boundless time and money and energy that Western teens have today. I’m glad we’re doing the 30 Hour Famine.
