John introducing Dennis

We just finished the first conference with Christ for the City. Out prayer was that the Lord would pour His Holy Spirit to heal, refresh and renew these group of workers, and the Lord answered our prayers powerfully! The Lord used Dennis in a mighty way to speak to their hearts and heal them. Christ for the City has different ministries here, but most of them deal with at risk population. As you can image, working with such needed people drains the workers. They needed encouragement and renewal, and the Lord provided that for them. Dennis spoke on Habakkuk 1 (God, I don't get it! and Go, It Isn't Fair!) He also spoke on 7 things that drain you as a minister, and about relationships. From the start, the messages were well received. You could tell that the Lord was beginning to work. Dennis and Marsha were able to minister to the workers at many different levels, and the Lord was glorified.

After the last meeting, we came back to the hotel for about an hour to rest, then we went out to dinner to a typical restaurant, and now it is 9:00 pm. We did a little packing to get ready for tomorrow. We are leaving at 9:00 am to visit the girls' school up in the mountains, and then to Limon in the Caribbean coast to do the pastoral couples conference. We will be in a beautiful spot. I will try to get good pictures. Until then...from near the beach...
