a week in Louisville

Sheila mentioned that I am away in Louisville for a ministry conference. It is entitled Together for the Gospel, or T4G for short. I am so thankful that Sheila is willing to sacrifice and serve the church by allowing me to opportunity to be gone. The schedule is rather grueling...from 7:10 a.m. until well after midnight each night. However, I trust that the messages we are listening to and the different opportunities for discussion will bear much fruit in the lives of those at Hope Chapel.

One of the most exciting parts of the conference is that there are over 5000 men here, with a handful (relatively) of women, who are here for the sake of the Gospel. May denominational lines are crossed, and there is a distinct unity that exists between us. It is encouraging, not to mention that they give us books...probably 11 or 12 over the course of the week. Here's a photo from the middle of the conference center to give an idea of how large this actually is...

While it is an exciting opportunity , I do look forward to returning home to Sheila and Silas on Friday evening, as it is difficult to be away. TO find out more about the conference, go to www.t4g.org
