Thoughts from the conference
TEAR is definately a place where I fit. It is like a big extended family. Full of odd, crazy and cool people.
India’s draw is still strong on me. I enjoyed talking to people about it. The size of my next project there is still overwhelming me. I wonder if I am skilled enough to do it. It’s hard to keep it all in my head.
I feel a strong desire to travel to South Africa now too. One of the speakers at the conference was from there and she was fantastic. So articulate and humble. The projects her organisation do seem so well thought out.
How I work is also a challenge.
Incarnation ministry is a very intresting concept. It’s all about downward mobility living like the people you are ministering to. I wouldn’t mind getting an upward mobility assignment though :-). In the IT context working behind the scenes it’s hard to work out what to do in terms of downward mobility.
Interesting talk on the language of lament. I should write more about it latter.
Another good one about the church. It talked about how the church was inherintly human and that it is in its weakness that God works. Powerful stuff.
