Lisa, Diane, Danielle, Tyler, Janet, Peter and Jen attended tonights meeting. In today's meeting, we covered a lot of items. We all deepened our relationships by getting to know each other better over dinner that I brought.
We then discussed future important dates and announcements. The main discussion was over the second part of The Hole in Our Gospel that everyone on the team read for the week. The team members discussed sections of the book that inspired or moved them.
"God uses broken and imperfect people to challenge and inspire others", many people were able to relate to this idea and this was discussed last week as well. We are a group of people on different levels with our walk with God. What we do know is that we want to be more like him and do what he asks us to do.
"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. - C.S. Lewis.
Diane pointed out this quote on page 73 of the book. Very inspiring!
It was mentioned during tonights meeting that Richard Stearn is straight up! This helps people relate to him and learn from his experiences.
After discussing the book - Jenn and Tyler opened up to us about their past and their walk with God. It was great to not only know more about them but listen to their walk with God and how they came to participate on this mission trip. Both testimonials were wonderful and I was happy to get to know them more. When people open up about their lives we are able to become more intimate with them so I thank you guys for sharing!!!!
One of the wonderful characteristics about this team is that everyone is open to volunteer for activities and to help support this team and make us more effective. I can see wonderful relationships forming.
And then... it was time to go home!
