This year, it's time for our all-Europe regional KKI gathering, and we'll be holding it in Finland towards the end of October. Preparations are already underway: at the beginning of February, we sent some people to check out the conference location, clarify the cost of food and accommodation and take some photos of the place where we'll be staying in Pieksämäki. Another group of people is working on preparing the programme, and my role involves doing much of the communication about the gathering. Before I leave for South America this weekend, I want to send out a mailing that will spread the word to hundreds of staff, leaders and young people all over Europe.
The theme of the conference will be Light Up, Europe, and we're looking forward to enjoying God's presence in our midst as we worship, pray, hear speakers, attend workshops, and seek God's heart for how our lives and ministry can bring His light to the continent of Europe.
