Off to New Zealand and Australia

     I am heading to New Zealand and Australia for a 10 day teaching journey.  In Christ Church and Auckland, I will spend full days with worship arts leaders and pastors.  Then in Sydney and Melbourne, I'll be investing in women leaders for a couple days.  I look forward to new connections, to the stories I will hear about churches that are flourishing and those that are struggling, and to the ways I will be inspired by the sacrifice of others.  These trips never fail to lift my own spirit and humble me.
      I would appreciate prayers on two fronts.  First, I am fighting a nasty virus and currently don't have much of a voice.  The doctor today gave me some strong drugs, so hopefully that will do the job!  Also, I always struggle with big time jet lag when I head to that part of the world, especially on the return.  But these are minor concerns, and I believe that God will equip me with what I need to serve.
      I will attempt to post from those countries if I can get hooked up...so I'll let you know what I experience and how God works...Blessings to you and your ministries...
