Hello everyone,
I want to thank each of you for your participation and thoughtful participation in the pastors retreat last month. Most of us knew several others at the retreat and no one single person knew everyone. It is a testament to the unity and Spirit of God that in such a short period of time can attain a level of friendship, intimacy and depth that many only dream of happening. I like what Amos Lee said about how it feels like we have known each other for years!
I trust you experienced trust, belonging and genuine concern and love. If you have enjoyed our time together, know that Tim and I will be contacting each of you about TLC groups which will be starting next month. We want you to know that we are in this in the long haul for you. Even if you cannot be a part of a group, we want to help in any way we can. If you are interested in reading a bit more about TLC we have a simple website that describes a bit more of the ministry: http://www.tlcinc.org/
Also, the contacts for each participant can be a very helpful tool. We saw the power of peer to peer ministry and encouage you to keep in touch with one another. The cross pollination in ministry is very helpful and closer to Jesus’ model of unity than our isolation. I’ve also attached a copy of the resources mentioned by everyone. Thank you for bringing them and sharing them with everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to fill out the evaluation sheet. Your comments were very encouraging and helpful. I can’t tell you how much we value your comments! Thanks in advance.
For those of you that graciously shared your I/O and we were able to go over them with the group, we will be typing them up for your reference and mailing them back to you. We will be praying for you and look forward to hear what God will do.
Tim and I are planning for the next ISAAC project. We will let you know about the event as soon as we gather the details. We thank you for your prayers for us and ask hope you continue to pray for us as we plan for our next event.
Blessings to each of you and may God be your joy as you serve Him!
