But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him. He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit. -Jeremiah 17:7,8

Missions Conference at Calvary Chapel Merritt Island

We were given the opportunity to represent Wycliffe Bible Translators at the Calvary Chapel Missions Conference in Merritt Island, FL on Mar 12 and 13.

What an amazing 2 days.  We started Friday night, setting up our table, looking to see what might God have for us to show those coming to the conference the next day. Met some amazing people!!! Got to know some of the others of God's kingdom - all working together for His good.

The conference began at 8:30 in the morning Saturday and ran til almost 8 PM. My word, so many opportunities. Young people came from as far as Miami. We had the opportunity to talk to future linguists, and I.T. professionals, as well as those who knew not what they should do; but knew they wanted a part in "something bigger"... Bible Translation.

Hopefully, our passion touched the hearts of these young people - encouraging them that God can use all of us, in the way He has gifted and talented us, to serve Him.

Additionally, we heard some inspiring teachings.... and left this conference so thankful that God has chosen to keep us right here, at this time, for this time, to do what He has asked us to do..... and part of that, the biggest part, is to get to know the Character of God, in a more intimate, deep way.
