Another Session Wraps Up

Yesterday I helped welcome some guests from Nebraska, who will be visiting with us through to Convocation, which is next Thursday evening. You always get a fresh perspective of Haggai from new people, their reason for supporting the ministry and how they came to hear about it.
Our current sessions are into the final week and the participants have been a real joy to be around. They have many with gifts in music, we have a magician, two Catholic priests and an interesting fellow from Romania, who I have mentioned previously. Romania has a population of over twelve million, but approximately one in ten suffers from some form of addiction. This individual operates the national branch of an international organization that works with males, drug and alcohol addicts. I found it interesting that his organization doesn't want government assistance, because if they did, first would come cigarettes, then television and then girlfriends. So not everyone thinks that government has the answers to todays problems. His organization has a success ratio over 80 percent. This is the story of one participant. Each of the 48 has an interesting ministry back home.
Today was another breakfast at our favourite restaurant, and it was a beautiful morning. Tomorrow we will go "upcountry" for church to a place named Wiapuna.
