Northeast Regional Conference in Valley Forge, PA

Like the Revolutionary Army, we gathered from all over the northeast region to meet in Valley Forge, PA. Unlike George Washington's army we had delightful weather, plenty of food and we all had shoes.

Our small army worshipped and prayed together. We learned about M28 and Mail Chimp. We prayerwalked the colleges in Philadelphia.





We were encouraged with messages from ISI President Doug Shaw and our Regional Field Director Natasha Hope.



Fritz Kling, author of The Meeting of the Waters, was our keynote speaker. He brought into focus 7 trends that are impacting today's global church, many of which we are experiencing in our various ministries.






























Student testimonies are always a highlight as we gather together.






Our youngest attendee!

Finding Treasures Along the Way: CT to OK to TX

Every journey starts with a plan, an agenda; meeting times,places and travel arrangements. Then there are the treasures that God puts along the way for us to discover.
A travel companion (window seat) returning to HongKong & leaving her 15 yr old son in a private school was an opportunity to share & encourage on the way in hopes of keeeping in touch & being friends.



An engine light coming on & a car rental switch becomes a blessing for better gas mileage.

A campus lunch becomes a reunion for Connectiwegiens.


Time with friends and family leads to meeting key people interested in extending ministry to international students in new schools.










It is good to remember that the jewels and treasures are often people put in our path.
