Restored to health, survived 100 degree, high humidity weather (rare for Boston)& enjoyed dinner and fellowship with our brother Doug. God has blessed him with a younger Hispanic brother to work with in Chelsea. They do open air preaching & ministry every Saturday.
Jetted off to a house/simple church conference in the Lone Star state way too early Friday morning. (Up at 3:20 AM) Began at 1PM with a talk by Wayne J. He stated he was not a conference speaker kind of guy yet seemed to have no difficulty doing it. As I reflect back on the weekend from the vantage point of a layover in Milwaukee en route to Boston I guess I am no longer a conference kind of guy. Apparently I misunderstood the theme ( I had understood it to be about regional equipping teams- something i am very passionate about) Made a concerted effort to interact with people, not expecting them to seek me out. About one hundred and fifty attendees. Although a sprinkling had come from overseas (Africa/Australia/Britain/Malaysia) the majority were from the region. Did exchange cards with six or seven people but the reality is that I have a regional focus, and no one seemed to have any interest in New England, save one couple from Dorchester. Those leading seem to have all been former pastors/seminarians etc. One questions whether this is healthy. In short, to go that far just doesn't seem worth the time, money and energy.
