Pictures?

Well, we had our first official meeting today. Floyd just cast vision what we're going to be learning and why. He went a little into his (and Sally's) story on how they came to where they are now in life - training up people to be and create simple churches among neglected peoples in the earth. A lot of practicals were addressed too. I love my fellow students and the staff. We represent many countries and nations in the world in a rainbow of beautiful skin color. We are mostly young people, there are teenagers, 20 something singles, 30 something singles, married couples and couples with children. We all seem to have similar stories prior to joining the school. A call of God to tell people about Jesus in the world, an dissatisfaction with the status quo, a wanting of a life full and abundant - something the American Dream could never fully provide and a bulldogged commitment to follow what God has said to us. All of us have stories of how God has provided for us to be here. Funds have showed up in some miraculous ways for some, confirmation over and over (10 times in one week for one couple), some couples with kids I have talked to have extricated themselves from their work situations to answer very clear calls from God to go through this program fully relying on Him for funds and seeing Him meet their every need. God is faithful to keep His word. This week is kinda orientation week for us. We're going out to some pretty picnic area somewhere tomorrow for a cool team building exercise all day. I realized pictures were in order. I'm going to have to figure out a host site to dump photos so I can put them on there and give you, the reader, the link if you want to look at more photos than just what I post here or on facebook.
