Tonight I sit in my hotel room tired from a tremendous week of activity at our General Assembly in Orlando, Fl. Everyday has been filled with legislative sessions as I served as one of the Virginia delegates for the assembly. Having the opportunity to serve has been very rewarding for me personally. However the greatest joy is to be with my brothers and sisters from around the world. Today I had the opportunity to catch up with three of my Jordanian brothers that I met while in the Middle East back in February of 2008. What a tremendous opportunity it was to share this time with true heroes of the faith. These men have dedicated their lives to preaching the good news of Jesus to their Arab communities. I recognize that we have a significant role in helping them as we continue to give toward World Mission. This week I have learned that we still have a long way to go as a church but we are on the right track. We truly have become a global community that is doing it's part to proclaim the message of God's great love.
The Willis family will be leaving Orlando in the morning heading North to North Carolina. Looking forward to a beach chair, a cold mountain dew, and a good book.
