What an amazing time. I sit among giants. All day, every day, I am thinking "what on earth am I doing in this room with these incredible people?"
Sitting next to me, the Director of Samaritan's Purse in the UK; he was a former director of British Telecom who advised the government on communications. A woman who runs a "movie club" outreach in Prague, Czech Republic, a country where almost nobody believes in any religion, much less Christ, and the decades of Soviet Athiesm have destroyed generations. An Egyptian living in New Jersey preparing to go plant churches among Arabs and Muslims. David Crowder's pastor from University Baptist Church on the Baylor Campus. A PhD scientist from India, who works in Silicon Valley, and wants to be a marketplace minister reaching skeptics and scientists. A church planter in the Washington DC area who has attending his church the people who prep the briefings for Senators and High Level government officials each Monday morning -- they are the gatekeepers who prioritize the information those leaders see. And so it goes...
30 people in that room all day every day, studying together, laughing together, crying and praying together... Amazing.
