It has been so special, having Mike in town this week. He arrived on Monday, after spending two amazing weeks ministering in Nepal. He's here to visit Colleen (who is here with Asian Outreach, and comes from the church Mike and Janne pastor in Tauranga).
I was lucky enough to tag along with Mike and the Asian Outreach team yesterday for a training day they held in a village. Once a month a group of pastors and housegroup leaders get together for special training. Mike took three 90-minute sessions for the 20 attendees. Conditions were warmish - no electricity, no fans, much sweat! Even tho' our hottest month is April, temperatures have not moved much since then.

A 'whats-your-name' ice-breaker game had everyone having fun at the beginnng of the teaching sessions
Mike has been camping at our place since Tuesday. He heads back to kiwi-land tomorrow. He's busy with AO again today, doing staff training. We re-scheduled our Sunday afternoon homegroup to last night also, and asked Mike to lead that time. He was excellent and folk certainly were ministered too.
