Last night we had our first meeting for the team that will be going from St. Giles to Paraguay in July. We met at The Well in Pineville (this is in NC, near Charlotte, for those from other parts), a church/coffee shop. It was the perfect place to meet - roomy and comfy, big sofas, good beans. We just wanted to hang out together so we could begin to get to know each other. We could pray and worship together there at The Well and it didn't bother anybody - other people just kept doing whatever they were doing!

The high point for me was the worship. I felt a strong drawing of the Lord like when you're at the beach and a wave has come in and is on its way back out, and you can feel the pull of the water on your legs. To me it was as if the Lord is drawing us onwards in Him to great things in His Spirit.
