The Pursuit was a wonderful and new experience in my life. This was my first time attending a ministry training conference. I was in a foreign place, away from loved ones and everything I knew to be home. I’d never been to London, Ontario, and was excited for it. I did not know that a story, deeper than I could imagine, was waiting to unfold.
The days were packed and intense, brimming with wisdom and passion in all arenas. I came out of each session amazed and delighted at the fountain of knowledge offered to me, so freely and unreservedly. Who was I that I should be afforded such pleasure of truth and wisdom? My cup overflowed.
I was intrigued by the teachings on strategy, succession, and stewardship. I loved the vast array of workshops available because of the nature of this year’s joint conference. It was inspiring to meet people from other ministries, as well as our own. We were all striving for the glory of God and the blessing of His children. This labour of love was glorious.
I understood that more than ever as testimonies of grace poured into me, and left me with so much more than when I’d first begun. I learned new ways of reaching those who called to us from the other side, and how to perpetuate the grace of God in words as few as a listening heart.
God showed me many things on this journey of trust and I came away, my foundation firmer than before. It was imperative to embody all I had experienced in this sacred space, and bear fruit for Him alone. This new season of my life, divinely greater than the last, has ushered into me hope and a purer trust in the One who has brought me here.
It is my prayer that my ministry will be for God’s glory alone.
