A Slice of My Life

I am rushed for time, so this will be short. I leave for Edinburgh soon
for 'The Church Has Left the Building' conference. It will start tonight
and run through Saturday evening. It is sponsored by a Vineyard church
in Northern Ireland. The conference enables the participants to explore
ways that believers can take more seriously the reality of the Kingdom
of God and to reach out in mission to people around us, especially the
poor and the sick. It should be quite a challenging time for me and I ex-
pect to be stretched to the limit.

Last Thursday a small group of us from various local churches put on the
first Healing Room ministry time here in Cupar. For the past four months
we had been meeting together for prayer every Thursday and receiving
teaching at workshops. Despite it being our first time doing this, and de-
spite the snow and ice on the ground, one person came by. We will be
meeting every Thursday evening for two hours. I have been committed
to healing ministry for over ten years now, and I was grateful to be able
to express that area of ministry here in Scotland. One track available at
the conference I am going to in the next few days presents the 'Healing
in the Streets' ministry. I hope to be able to talk with other Christians
about the gift of healing and ministry of the local church.

I have been busy with many things: the thesis, searching for church
positions, and the essential tasks of daily life. As always, I covet your
prayers.

Blessings to you and yours,
