ZOE Fresno

The trip to Fresno for ZOE West coast was great. As usual, the singing was wonderful, and the whole weekend we were challenged to be missional... to be salt and light in the community around us. Leonard Sweet was both brilliant and challenging. Mike Cope also challenged us, and Saturday night he commissioned all of us as missionaries in our communities... to go out and treat everyday people just like Jesus treated folks in His day. Hard to describe this kind of weekend in only a few words on this page, but suffice it to say next year is already on my calendar. The College Church does a marvelous job hosting this event.

Of course, we also got to spend some time with Jermy and Amber. We and they stayed at the Fosters along with the Gills. It's always great to get to see Jeremy and Amber, and Steve and Gail are wonderful hosts. We got to see a bunch of other folks as well. In fact, one of the greatest blessings of these kinds of events is the chance to reconnect with friends.
