It is a 18th century mansion at the foot of the Scottish Highlands.
Back Story: A friend of ours was raising funds to do missions work in Scotland, but then ended up studying at the University with Nic instead. Because he has already raised the funds for his work in Scotland, it was just sitting there. The donations we just going to be sent back to other people, but this friend asked if the fund could be used to send Nic and I and 2 other families to a conference all expenses paid. They agreed.
We are so excited! This is a much needed break from the normal everyday and to spend time together away from all of our responsibilities. We are also so excited at the possibility of connecting with other people who are doing the same kind of stuff we are all over Europe.
Below is a little information about the conference:
- Theme — "21st Century Disciples." Our discussion will center on 21st century discipleship: What is it? How do we envision and pursue it in our missional communities?
- Invitation — "Come join us for a fun, enriching weekend of worship, fellowship and encouragement in the Scottish Highlands just north of Glasgow. Gartmore centre features walking trails, access to beautiful Loch Lomond and stunning scenery.
Can I ask that you would pray for Nic and I this weekend?
- Pray that we would be reenergized, inspired and encouraged.
- Pray for good connections to be made with others who are doing the same kinds of work we are.
- Pray for our marriage to be refreshed this weekend as we get to spend more time together.
- Pray for listening ears and hearts for whatever God wants us to take away from this weekend.
