On the move again...

These two weeks back in Spain have flown by very fast. The first week was full of coaching appointments and online planning meetings for an upcoming youth leaders' forum. Then a respiratory infection struck and I've spent the past week indoors, fighting off a bad bout of bronchitis and tracheitis. The antibiotics finally seem to be doing their job, and I'm starting to feel a bit better now, but I have to confess I still feel a bit weak at the prospect of my long journey to Belarus tomorrow. (Click on the picture to enlarge the map.) I'll leave home fairly early in the morning, but will only arrive in Minsk at 1 am on Monday morning Fortunately, some KKI friends in Minsk will meet me at the airport and take me to their home for the rest of the night, before we move on to our conference accommodation the next day.

Conference probably isn't the right word, as this year is our smaller KKI regional gathering. For the first few days there will be just half a dozen of us - the KKI European leadership team. Then we'll be joined on Thursday by 35 others - the national leaders of KKI ministries in all the different countries of Europe. We'll be together for three days of prayer, fellowship, and seeking the Lord together. We'll also run some training tracks to equip those men and women for their national leadership task.

I'll be teaching two of the training tracks - one on leadership mentoring and the other on youth mentoring - as well as facilitating some of the plenary sessions. 

When the week is up, I'll fly back to Spain again, with an even more complicated itinerary than on the outbound trip. I need to be at Minsk airport at 3 am, and will take three flights, criss-crossing Northern Europe before arriving back in Malaga. Thanks for your prayers.
