'Twas the night before Shepherds' Conference



Well everything is almost ready for the big day tomorrow! Everything I was hired to do will come to pass over the next three days. The picture above is of my boss Brent who is his usual relaxed self despite the millions of details that must be running through his head! At 8am tomorrow morning the church will be buzzing as 3,000 men from around the world join together to learn how to serve the church better. We have plans to pamper and serve them as they soak up the rich teaching they will hear. It has been an honor to work towards this conference and be a part of what it does in these guys lives. Many of them are pastors in very difficult situations and in much need of encouragement. The next three days will be an opportunity for them to be taught instead of doing the teaching, which is a rare opportunity for many of them. They will also be surrounded by like minded men who share the same passions they do...how exciting! Please pray for this conference as it represents the local and global church and that the fruit of this conference will bring glory to our great God! Must get to bed!

How exciting Michelle. I'm so thankful that God provided this job for you. I know you'll be leaving when Weston is born. The fact that you have been able to go to work in a job that has eternal benefits to all has been so good. Have a great few days. Love, Kerri
