In just a few hours, I’ll be leaving Spain and flying to Amsterdam. For the next ten days I’ll be involved in our annual KKI leadership meetings: from 10th - 12th March with the King’s Kids European leadership team, and then from 12th - 18th March with the KKI International leadership team. In recent years, we’ve travelled to Africa and the Middle East for these meetings, but this year we’ll be gathering in Europe, and I’d value your prayers for these intensive ten days of meetings in the Netherlands. They’ll be times of prayer and strategising, times of worship and hearing God’s voice, times of considering the partnering and transfer of leadership between the older and younger generations.... and there will even be a free afternoon when we’ll go to visit the city of Amsterdam.
At one point, I'm also hoping to meet up with an old friend, Joke, who worked with us in KKI Scotland for more than a decade. Joke was a student on our 1991 PCYM in Paisley, went with me on summer outreach to the Benelux nations and the Barcelona Olympic Games in 1992, and ended up staying on and becoming one of our valued team leaders in King's Kids Scotland. We try to connect whenever I'm in the Netherlands, where she now works as a schoolteacher, and it is always a joy to see her again. The last time was a couple of years ago when we both celebrated our 50th birthday.

By the way, although the photo above probably looks very Dutch, it was actually taken in South Africa and not in the Netherlands. It's an old windmill, not far from where I used to live in Cape Town; the area was a favourite dog walking location of mine when my Kylie was a puppy.
