leadership meetings

I have just returned from over 10 days of important leadership meetings for our ministry.
First, there were meetings with the global team. Here is this leadership group that I am part of.


We give support and leadership to 18 teams and 90 missionaries around the world. I am responsible for the teams in German Speaking Europe and in Rome.





Then approximately 35 leaders from our refugee ministry teams joined us for our annual leadership retreat. The theme this year was renewal. Here we are in one of our sessions.









Our retreat was then followed by the annual leadership forum for International Teams. 240 leaders from all the different ministries met this year. This is an important time for connecting with other leaders in similiar situations as well as to hear the reports and prayers of others.

After one of these prayers, the leader pointed out,

"no eye has seen, no ear has heard... a Philipino serving in Japan praying for a U.S. citizen from Nigeria who is married to a Philipino and serving somali refugees in Kenya."

Only God could put -and hold- something like this together! It was a great time to ride the wave of what God is doing around the world.

This year was special because Reinhild joined me for the last 7 days.
