Last week we had staff conference at TEAR. It was a pretty intense week, filled with good learning. I did a presentation that was well received. In fact the way I react to the praise and gratefulness I receive from staff is somewhat of a paradox to me. A mixture of pride, humility and a determination to do better are stirred within me.

Other interesting talks included a deconstruction of Mark Driscoll and his views on women, a theology of development from a Kenyan perspective, a discussion on the importance of discipleship and our role as an organisation in journeying with people. Heart breaking were some of the stories from the countries where our partners work. They are such hard places. Hope filling though was the quality of the people that were in the room, and the stories of the hard work put in by our partners overseas..
