Speaking before Presbytery

Yesterday Amy and I drove down to Detroit for the Midwest Presbytery meeting. It's a gathering of teaching and ruling elders of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church (EPC) where they discuss doctrine and policy. There's a section of the meeting to hear from World Outreach, so Amy and I were invited to speak. Usually there's a 10 minute window, but the other missionary couple that was supposed to attend couldn't make it - so we got 20 minutes!

It was wonderful to share with them the story of how we met, Amy shared about her time in Kenya, I gave an update about what's been going on in Russia, AND they spontaneously prayed for us. It was really great. Amy & I have both been feeling the pressure and stress of being too busy and trying to figure out how to prioritize a bit better. We're learning how to do it, but it's taken a bit of a toll as we've been trying to figure it all out.
