Sad news – as it turns out, I won’t be able to attend the Slot Festival and the Global Roundtable for Emerging and Underground Ministries. Illness prevents me from traveling.
This is one time when the circumstances I have to deal with are particularly disappointing. Maybe I’ll eventually discover providential purpose lurking in their midst. But at the moment, I’m quite grieved that I won’t be at these events in person, though I’ll certainly be praying for those at the Roundtable and look forward to reports. There is still a need for scholarships for the 2009 Global Roundtable - please contact Andrew Jones if you are interested in contributing (his contact information is in the post just linked to).
And, once recuperated, hopefully I’ll be able to complete my series on Basic Questions on Cultures and Kingdom at Missional Tribe, as an online resource on cultures and contextualization. (I only got through about a quarter of the planned posts before illness slowed me down.)
Meanwhile, I’d surely appreciate your prayers for a recovery of health, stamina, and joy. Thanks …

Brad, I am sorry for your disappointment. As always, my prayers are with you.

I know all will ultimately be well, but that knowledge does not remove the feelings of grief or the current need to process the disappointment. It’s truly a comfort, though, to know one is surrounded with support and prayer … thanks, Grace.

Brad, I’m so behind in my reading that I’m just now seeing this. I knew it was coming, but this seems so final and hard. I’m sorrier than words can say. And my prayers seem so feeble and useless against this tide you face. But I keep sayin’ em. And I keep your name up there in God’s face (not that S/He needs it, but you know …).
Love & restoration to you, brother …

Thanks Sonja. It is hard, but it’s comforting to know I’m surrounded by the support and prayers of people who care …
