Can you find us in this picture?
Karen and I traveled to the Philadelphia area the second week of May to participate in a two day conference focused on "Missions and Money." Hosted by Catalyst Services, this conference brought ninety representatives from churches and mission agencies together to explore, dialog, and work through real faith and stewardship issues. Keynote speakers, seminar presenters, panels, case studies, discussion groups, and break-out sessions all pointed to the increasing need for cooperation, communication, and transparency between everyone involved in preparing, sending, keeping, and caring for those we send into mission service.
Kidz Under Construction
I was blessed to be recruited for a speaking (not singing) role in this year's Children's Musical at our church. Our performance was May 22 and it went off without a hitch to rave reviews! I played the role of "Joe Carpenter" in a construction-based musical sharing the truth of God's love, his grace and his "Master Plan" for each of our lives.
I'm the big kid on the left.
In The Office At GOMEX
As we launch into June, I'm coaching nineteen missionary families raising support for service in fourteen different countries. Karen and I are also preparing to host Greg, Global's VP of Personnel; and Tom, Global's Member Care Coordinator; for a two day "Planning Summit" here in our office June 15-16. We'll be discussing HR policies, consider updates, and discuss new guidance to keep Global Outreach engaged in the rapidly changing administrative context of international operations.

We've been blessed with a wonderful spring here in North Carolina, and thrilled by so many colorful birds nesting in, and traveling through, our backyard.
