Colloquium Conference - GoiĆ¢nia - 30 May - 2 June
Tomorrow, God willing, we will go to the second Colloquium conference. Traveling with us is Taybar, Patty's husband, (photo here) who is one of the pastors of the National Baptist Church in Blumenau. We leave by plane in the morning, returning the following Monday.
The event this year has two speakers: Hans Bayer and Jerram Barrs, a German and a Brit, both on the staff at Covenant Seminary, St Louis. Dr. Bayer will be opening up the discipleship teaching in Mark while Jerram Barrs will be dealing with Christianity and Culture. For more information (in Portuguese only, I am afraid!) please see the conference website.
Our involvemnt with Colloquium is an important part of our lives, and in this case, especially, a chance to be fed and to have fellowship with many who are on a similar road, without the load of ministry which normally takes us to conferences. The exception will be the Sunday: Andrew may well end up speaking somewhere in the morning, and is booked to preach at Filadelfia National Baptist Church in the evening meeting. (He spoke there on a Wednesday last year: see photos.)
We are looking forward to getting to know Taybar better, but ask for prayer for Patty, who will be home alone for a week.
