Earthshake Conference

Wow, this weekend was slightly hectic but so incredible!!! All Nations had their Earthshake conference for all of us in Cape Town (and a few from Zambia:). We had a speaker from Papua sharing his experiences and a couple from here in South Africa that are pastors over a few churches. They both had such different stories but both were so encouraging for all of us to here. I think the biggest thing for me was to see their simplicity and their absolute love for the people they are working with us. They have so much passion to see lives and countries changed that they will go to huge lengths to see it happen. It is incredible because they are just normal people and if it weren't for Floyd's extensive network we would never have met them. I feel so blessed to work with a group of people that may not be known world wide for what they do but they will be remembered in the communities they work in and they will see 1,000s of people changed and brought closer to God. Hearing the speakers was something that I really needed to hear to encourage me to keep going in what I am doing and even go further. I was really challenged by one thing one of the guys said, that the amount of faith and vision I have is the amount of people I will see come to know Jesus. I want to see people lives turned around and communities transformed but how badly do I want it. How badly do I believe it will happen? Will I keep living my life half for myself or will I say that my life is for these people to see them find God and the purposes He has for them? So, those are the questions that have been plaguing me after this weekend. A lot to think about.

I was also on the team that helped set it up so I am very thankful that I did not fall asleep during any of the sessions. Haha....don't get me wrong, they were very riveting to listen to. Their stories and hearing that they are seeing breakthroughs but there is a point that you reach exhaustion and information overload. So, now I am taking it slow and recovering with laying on my couch. :) Its also a good time to process. So it will be good to rest, recover and get back to work with the new things that are going on in my heart.
