We recently attended our very first “area retreat” in England. If you’re not aware, Katy and I are missionaries sent by the Assemblies of God World Missions. AGWM is split into regions with Europe being our region. Within our region, they divide up into areas. So our recent trip was with all the AGWM missionaries living and/or working in the Northern Europe area in the Europe region of AGWM.
We had such a great time connecting with our colleagues from this part of the world. Some are old and very dear friends. Some are now our new friends. All of us came together as those called to serve our respective locations in Northern Europe. It’s such a blessing to have those we can lean on in prayer and encouragement who understand the ups and downs we face as missionaries. Together we prayed, laughed, worshipped, ate, and even had a bonfire.
Please pray for our leadership, Stephen and Sonia Wallace (Area Directors) as well as Larry and Melinda Henderson (Europe Regional Directors). The Wallaces worked very hard to put this on and do a wonderful job supporting our many missionaries. They do so many things which include creating spaces like this to help encourage us in our calling.
