AGIF

I was at the AGIF conference in Norwalk Connecticut. (Assemblies of God International Fellowship, an independent ministers group of which I am one of the elders) I asked some people what they liked about it, and the response was "fellowship." The leaders sat at the table with everybody else, and they were accessible.
There are preachers who have a need to communicate with peers, rather than competing for denominational positions. We saw that happening again, as it always does in our conferences. George Ekeroth has proven to be a good leader, and Dale Collins has been a good editor and advisor. This is not the direction I thought the fellowship would follow when Ted Lanes died, but I'm pleased with the result. There is a divine hand guiding us.

back from the east


Ingrid and I were together on a driving trip to Vermont and Maine, with Jack the dog and Tess the cat. We pulled our little camper.
We visited with Phillip at the university and then went to Acadia National Park, with its wonderful scenes along the "stern and rockbound coast" of Maine.
We were gone for two weeks.
I'll go back east for a convention in Connecticut, and return on Saturday.
Here is Phillip and Tess outside our little camper.
