November 15th-18th was the National Missionary Convention in Cincinnati. It was great time of encouragement being around so many others passionate about world missions. We were able to visit teamates back in the states on furlough and get an update on Turkana news from the field. It is an exciting time for the Turkana church as they are maturing and seeing growth, but the team is struggling with only three teamates currently in the field trying to keep all the minitries running. We can't wait to get there and do our part!
We also visited with other recruits with CMF preparing to leave for the field. Many of the recruits we haven't seen since training. We enjoyed catching up and hearing about their support raising experiences. We all could relate to each others' struggles and blessings. It is interesting how God has used the expereince to prepare each of us for the field. We were reassured that this time is time well spent.
