Day one has now officially come to an end. After miles of walking we learned a new meaning to “welcoming the stranger”.  As we were overwhelmed with hospitality after a very long day. 

We saw some beautiful landscapes and amazing communities for ministry. 

We did learn that walking on a level hard surface for a long period of time is painful. What took this pains away were hills, rolling hills. 

Sometimes it seems easy in the life of the church to stay on a plateau, to maintain what we have always had, but we feel, after today, that staying level wears the body down. 

The good news is that climbing that hill that is before you, or your ministry, is likely the relief you need. Maybe it’s time to set aside our fears of what seems to difficult  and boldly drive forward. 

The tracking link code used today will remain the same for tomorrow.
