The countdown is on. Tomorrow we (Dave & Patrick) leave for Bogota to be part of the first OPEN Expo outside of North America. This will be the largest BAM/B4T gathering ever held in South America. We are pumped! The messages and workshops will be centered on exploring specific ways to increase our effectiveness in reaching the unreached through business.
This includes;
– Ways of doing accountability better.
– Utilizing mentors and coaches who will work with us and for us in completing the assignments God
has given each of us.
– Involving interns (short-termers) and apprentices (longer) in our businesses so as to pass the torch
and adequately equip a new generation of B4T workers who will go on to finish His task.
– Exploring new ways of funding missions and B4T businesses.

Pray with us that this week will sow the seeds that will impact many mission workers who in turn will impact thousands of unreached peoples. We have a number of things to pray for; we greatly appreciate your diligence in praying for us this next week.
