Last weekend I was at the Brethren in Christ General Conference, serving as one of the delegates from Elizabethtown Brethren in Christ.  To catch some superb summaries of presentations and lots of pictures (including of Bible Quizzers) visit the conference blog at http://bic-church.org/gc2010/blog/. 

As for myself, it was a joy to get to know the Brethren in Christ more deeply, both on the level of vision/strategy and those from the Body of Christ who were present. Some personal highlights:

• Connected with some "on-line" friends/conversationalists face-to-face for the first time.
• Met a number of InterVarsity alum. 
• Networked with several people who are interested in partnering with the Central PA Christian Scholars Network and who provided input regarding my work among scholars/health care professionals (on the ground and on-line). 
• Heard an excellent presentation by John Spurrier, Brethren in Christ Medical Missionary who serves at Macha Missions Hospital, Zambia. Note: The day after General Conference, John & Esther Spurrier joined us at our home for a PSU-Hershey Christian Medical Society's Social ... by the time you read this John & Esther are back in Africa addressing a number of medical issues, including an aggressive AIDS prevention/treatment program.  
• More on Spurrier's presentation, the dessert, and other topics to come.  For their prayer card, click here

Continuing to pray for God's transforming work among the Brethren in Christ over the course of the next two years.  Looking forward to the stories of God's transforming work which will be shared along the journey to and at General Conference 2012.  To God be the glory!
