Our 2011 Mission Conference has come and gone.  Here are 7 reflections I have on the conference.

1. I thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday evening Q & A session.  It was exciting to watch the interaction between the ‘seasoned’ missionaries and the Faith’s 100 potentials.  I just wish it could have been longer.  I felt like there were so many questions left unanswered.
2. With all of the focus on Faith’s 100 at this year’s conference, I would like to see a future conference devoted exclusively to Faith’s 100.
3. It is difficult to listen to a presentation about Shepherds Ministries and not get emotional.  Thank God for the ministry of Shepherds.
4. Hannah Osborne’s video presenting her trip to Door of Hope Orphanage in South Africa was heart-wrenching.  It is hard to fathom that there are places in the world where babies are abandoned in trash piles.
5. I am looking forward to the future Sunday service when I will be able to hear David Nyeholt’s and Hannah Wilkins’s presentations.
6. Saturday morning’s breakfast was outstanding!  What a joy it will be to hold next year’s Mission Conference breakfast in our new gym!!
7. The messages by Rick Piatt and Kent Craig were outstanding.  They challenged my thinking.
