Home Sweet Home

There's no place like home. It's great to be back from Russia. I had a wonderful trip. If you have read any of the previous posts, you know that I had some great experiences and God's grace was evident all along the way. Each time I take a trip, expecially to another country, I find myself considering the effects of the trip. After spending time with other pastors, I have thought a lot about what it means to be a pastor. What do I have in common with a pastor in Siberia? Actually, quite a bit. I have thougtht about two important aspects of pastoring: context and calling. After listening to the pastor's in Russia share, I could sense that calling is much the same. We share a invitation from God to share His love and build better disciples. Context makes it interesting.
