We just concluded our second day of missions training in New York. The day was concentrated mostly around introductions, schedules and orientation.

 

We learned more about the classroom training and the church ministry work we will be doing. Erin was assigned to the Worship team and will play piano and sing worship songs for the group everyday. Mike was assigned to the Communications team and will help to establish a weekly newsletter and blog to report on our activities.

 

We also learned that Sue Burch will be our small group Leader while we are working at Iglesia Nueva Vida, the Spanish language church where we will be doing our ministry work. Sue has a very special place in our hearts. Sue was our Evaluator at MTW’s Readiness Evaluation, our Counselor at MTW’s Living in Grace conference, and she and her husband John counseled us over the phone for three months. We like Sue.

 

We also got a chance to meet Sean, Lindsey, and Baby Lucy McCann for the first time. This is the family we will be working with in Honduras. We hit it off well and are really looking forward to working close with them this month.

 

Check back frequently in July as we will be sharing lots of stories and pictures from our month in New York City.
