Through WARWICK'S WINDOW
Does it feel like 2012 is zipping along to you too? ...
Dear Friends in Mt Shasta,
When we last wrote in January, a new year full of projects and opportunites was stretched out ahead of us like an unplowed field. Since then much has happened in life and ministry and Ken is on the verge of a long trip to Asia... we deeply appreciate your prayer support for us so let's see if we can get you caught up a bit....
Hong Kong MeetingsKen has been working with a small team behind the scenes to help prepare a training and networking conference in Hong Kong for 68 ReachGlobal staff and 20 international partners. Please pray for these very important days of learning from each other and finding new ways to speed the growth of the church around the world. Ken leaves for Hong Kong on March 13th and will return on the 31st after visiting other staff in Asia following the week of meetings in Hong Kong.
April in Africa
Next month all of our staff in Africa and a number of African leaders will be gathering for their conference in Kenya, which is held every couple years. Ken will be attending and leading several workshops and meeting with staff to think through a full range of personnel issues.
All of you will be going along with Ken in a sense as he's been asked to do a workshop on how to put together prayer letters like this one. As I'm showing them how the address list works, I will be giving thanks for each reader of this letter!
Team Leader Orientation Course #2We mentioned in January how last year saw the launch of "Team Leader Orientation," a systematic four week introduction to being a team leader in ReachGlobal. It worked very well with a group of 15 participants and Ken's very active facilitation, but it took an emergency project coming to Ken's desk to complete the "proof of concept" and demonstrate how the course would work with a much smaller group. This was important to find out, because once we work through the big backlog of existing team leaders, we needed to know if the course would work in an "on demand" basis with just a few participants at a time.
A second offering of the course was planned in February.The first "apparent setback" for the February offering of this course, happened suddenly the week before the course started, when the participants dropped from seven to three. Then just days before the course started, Ken was given additional responsibilities with preparing for the LeadTeam Conference in Hong Kong, which basically have consumed the last six weeks of his life. This meant that Ken was "missing in action" from the February course, which forced us to test the ability of the course to work as designed. Ken's apology to the three participants at the close of the course was met with gracious responses, great appreciation for how the course had worked and affirmation for Ken's design. Isn't it great how God can turn our frustration and discouragement into joy?
