Family Conference is in full swing.
A major theme at family conference time is renewal. We have time to focus on spiritual renewal with worship times and teaching.
Our friend Jocelyn with her daughter Ruth, who is getting an early start in discipleship!
We also have times for paying attention to our needs for physical, emotional, and relational renewal.
Yesterday after the worship/teaching session, we took an outing to a lake for a hike and a picnic lunch. The drive was long, the weather was hot, the traffic was terrible. Once we arrived at the lake, though, it was worth it.
We took our time walking, enjoying the quiet and tranquility - a rare thing in a city the size of Kinshasa. At one point, David and I literally just stopped and took a deep breath and stood there taking in the fresh air and natural beauty and wide open space.
While we soaked our tired feet, we had a chance to just relax and visit with each other. Often when we get together as a team there is work to be done and not much time for visiting and connecting on a deeper level.
