you'll never walk alone

Today I return home. I travel from a northern hemisphere to a southern hemisphere, from summer to winter. To Christchurch. A city I left 18 days ago. To home and family and church.

I travel, but not alone. I travel with the prodigal kiwi. I travel with rich memories from the last few weeks with Anglicans and a class at Fuller Seminary and international partnerships around the Allelon Mission in Western Culture project. I travel with awareness of many saints who have travelled before with missional intentionality. I travel in the name of the sending One, conforted that he sends me and he is intending to come after me.

Luke 10:1 After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.

Steve - so glad your trips have been fun and fruitful... it was great to spend time in Auckland, and I'm looking forward to seeing both you and Lynne at the end of the month. Hope you have a wonderful time at home this weekend. Rich

Thanks for stopping by Hollywood and sharing insights over coffee. I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon. Peace!
