This week has been a doozy. I spent much of the day Tuesday in Mercedes, Texas at a lunch meeting. Seems our state convention is considering putting a staff person down here in the valley, so some of the big brass from HQ came down to feel us out. This is a great idea, and is much appreciated.
If you are familiar with our ministry at the HMC, you know that it's "feast" for us during the summer months, and "famine" for the rest of the year. Our staff has had a lot of conversation about how to best use those facilities over there, especially during the off-season. We have several things in the hopper, some of which we'll announce soon. It's just that, with the U.S. economy on life support, and the violence in Mexico continuing unabated, our HMC ministry has suffered quite a bit. We've been forced to rethink our approach. Honestly, that hasn't been all bad.
Speaking of the HMC, there is a group of students from First Baptist School over there now. Our student ministers, along with other volunteers, are leading a weekend retreat for some of the students. I pray that it'll be a blessing to all.
Last, but certainly not least, we will have our first FOCUS group meeting tomorrow morning. We'll be discussing, in some detail, what it means to adopt an unreached people group, and how to do it well. I'll be posting an update after the meeting.
