Missiology Conference north of Chicago



I was one of the van drivers for a group of Asbury colleagues (18 in all) that drove to Bannockburn, Illinois yesterday to participate today in a 1-day missiology conference sponsored by the Evangelical Missiological Society. They have had a Spanish-language track this year, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I've heard several very interesting presentations, and I've been able to understand 85-90% of the Spanish (go God!). I have included a couple pictures with this post. One is of me with a pastor who was a missionary in Venezuela for about 12 years back in the 60s and 70s. It was great to meet him and hear about his ministry those many years ago. The other is of me with Tito Paredes, who trains hundreds of pastors in four Latin American countries through a ministry called FATELA, based in Peru. He gave a very good presentation about the good and bad points concerning short-term mission trips. I am thankful for this oppotunity to continue being equipped for God's work. Much Love, Dan
