See how they grow

There has been so much growth and change over the past two months. And no, I'm not only speaking about Pepe - even though it has been rather impressive to see him transformed from a scrawny little poult (see 31st March) into an almost fully grown turkey!! He was a big hit with the nine children who were with us during LDC, as were the four little chicks that joined us at the beginning of the school and had already begun to look like real hens by the end of it.

For us as LDC staff, though, the most exciting changes have been the ones that we've observed in the lives of the Christian leaders who were with us during these past six weeks. Many of these dear people had been missionaries for twenty or thirty years and had come to LDC during a time of transitioning to new ministry roles. Some of the feedback we received was that people felt more confident about their future steps, more able to discern the Holy Spirit's prompting and more equipped to mentor and develop the younger leaders that they work with.

This weekend we'll be busy with many trips to and from the airport, as the delegates head home to their nations all over Europe, Asia and North America.
