Dates in the diary

As I sat down this week to fill in the "year planner" in the front of my 2011 diary, I got rather a surprise to see that the year is already quite full with many and varied ministry events. It looks like there's going to be more travelling for me this year - with trips to Senegal in January, to Hungary and Switzerland in March, to Austria in June, and to PCYMs in Jordan and Togo over the summer months. There are also plenty of dates in the diary for Villa Rehoboth in Spain - with a leadership seminar or retreat roughly once a month throughout the year, and an eight-week period in spring that's filled up with a coaching seminar and the annual leadership development course (LDC.) We're also launching a new training course this year: a strategic leadership course (SLC) that will run for three weeks in November. This week I've been working on designing an information flyer for that. Also in November, I'm going to be hosting a KKI national leaders gathering (about 50 King's Kids leaders from all over Europe) in Málaga. So it looks like being an interesting year with a wide variety of projects. Let me take this opportunity to say thank you to those of you who pray for me throughout the year. May God bless you too in 2011.
