This past Sunday I had a great time at Saint John First Wesleyan. It was good to see so many familiar faces. I did a short presentation about my ministry in Japan, and had some good conversations with interested folks after the service. It was also great to get a sense of how well things are going there after almost a year with their new pastor. Given that it’s one of my former “home” churches, I like to see good stuff happening there, and I believe it is. Greg seems like a good fit, and it’s good to have him back on the district as well.
The rest of the week was spent working on the usual behind-the-scenes stuff: bookings, budgeting, trip planning and so on. I started my Japanese new study routine, and though I haven’t gotten a full two hours in every day, I did some days and I’m closer to making it a habit. And that’s a good thing.
Another good thing is that I’m also making progress on my webcomic, not only staying on schedule but also working ahead. This will be important when I’m on the road and too busy to work on it. One of these days I’m going to have to write up a blog post about how this comic and comics in general fit into my over all life and ministry vision. For now, let me just say that it’s good to get the ball rolling.
This weekend I’ll be taking part in a missions conference at King’s Valley Wesleyan Church in Quispamsis, NB. If you’re in the area, why not drop by to say hi?
And… that’s a wrap.
