This is a pesentation to people, lay and clergy, who work in the church.  I am using some themes from prior talks, and really trying to wrestle with the nature of our work and living life that is abundant. I found that this was really challenging for me to do and for me to hear.

This is from a presentation made to members of our college missions who gathered at Camp Allen for a retreat.  The topic of the retreat was The Gospel Story.  This is the first presentation which is a combination of reflections about emerging culture and the challenges of telling our story in an ever changing missionary environment. This is my story, my spiritual journey.
