Healthy Disciples - Missional Leaders

First days of anything are awkward.
Remember the first day of...
   school
   camp
   work
 
Or your first class presentation, first date, first time throwing a disc (Frisbee)...

Well, on July 2, eleven new ACTION team leaders met for the first time for a few days of "leaders' orientation".

AWKWARD

   ...for a few minutes. Then, presto! They were like old friends, laughing, talking, praying together and getting ready to lead.

July 4th their teams arrived to meet one another for the first time for ACTION Orientation.

AWKWARD

   ...for a few minutes.

This week these teams meet new team members in the countries they are visiting. So a few more awkward moments await them. However, God's call is to build relationship and partner with sharing the gospel of Jesus in word and deed. May they encourage others, be encouraged and join in God's movement of calling everyone and all creation back into relationship with himself!
