Perspective, distances and numbers

1,250 km = approximately 800 miles. That is the distance one pastor traveled to get to this conference. Half of that distance he rode a bicycle; the other half he rode a bus. Humbling.

450 pastors have come to this conference. This is about 150 more in attendance than all the people who came to last year's Grace Brethren national conference in Florida. God has done a huge work in Africa which began with faithful men and women who obeyed the call to "go."

And to think... I sometimes struggle to drive the 3 miles or less in my comfortable car to sit on a comfortable pew in a very comfortable climate controlled building to listen to your sermons!! Truly - I'm blessed.
