Renewal Conference at WorldVenture headquarters in Denver is always a highlight of the year for us. It is 5 days of interacting with our missionaries that are in the United States for their home assignments.
One of the best things is the first two days of prayer. Yes, that is right! Two whole days just in prayer. We are so blessed to be with a mission organization that truly values prayer like that. After those two days of prayer together..then we had a worship and Bible time.
For Kent and I there were also some new contacts that had come to “check us out” as a mission. So tracking with them was part of our time.
We met as many missionaries as we could as well to hear their stories.
Then the board installed our new president for WorldVenture.
Jeff Denlinger and his wife, Christine have served in the Phiippines and then Venezuela with us. Jeff has worked at HQ for the last 9 years and now as the president. Kent and I got to know him when we lived in Denver. We love his godly spirit and devotion to his family as well as to WorldVenture. After the installation service, there were lots of workshops and Kent got to teach at one.
We love this week but come away from it full in our spirits and exhausted in our bodies… But totally refreshed!
We also had a fun time with Kara and Nick. Watch for that blog soon!
Love for Jan for the Roaming Reimers
