Overnight Retreat




We had a great time this past weekend at our "Overnight Training" for our Mozambique Team. We arrived around 6:00 pm to the State Park in Junction, Texas. David and Jackie were there to meet us. (It brought back memories of when we arrived a the base camp in Mozambique. We hadn't seen David and Jackie in 2 1/2 months and she meet us each with a hug as we got out of the van.) She made a sign to welcome us to "Camp Mozambique." We all unloaded and set up tents. We had burgers and hot dogs for dinner.

After dinner, we sat around and had a time to share with each other. It was a sweet time for us to share our fears, worries and struggles. After each team member shared we took the time to pray for them.

On Saturday morning we got up and had a great breakfast and then spent the next several hours in training. We went over the curriculum and talked about many other things that will take place on our outreach. Brad and Jill had each team member tell what they feel their strengths and weaknesses are. We were reminded that when we are weak, God is strong. It will be neat to see how God will use each one of us as we serve together in our strengths and weaknesses.

God is so GOOD! He allowed us time to carve out of our busy schedules to come together as a team. He has put each one of us together for His specific outreach. We are looking forward to seeing what God has planned for our team and the people of Mozambique.
