The Amazing Whiteboard!

I love whiteboards! Mel brought in a white board from home so that we can visualize some of our thoughts tangibly. I totally wanted to get one when I first started with OMF, but didn't get around to it and once we got into the "flow" of things, I forgot to follow-up on it... With Melissa's fresh vision, eyes and thoughts, she brings such new-ness that I have somewhat neglected in the recent while. We had some great brainstorming sessions, as I laid out some of the "bigger picture" aspects of the Serve Asia Department. We decided to pay a wee tribute to Shannon (the pioneer of Serve Asia Canada) and used her cartoon figurine to outline the journey of a Serve Asia Worker...

Mel has been such an encouragement. She's been patient, willing, enthusiastic and excited about missions, God, His Kingdom... it's been so awesome to see and be a part of. Watching her grow over this past year has been so rewarding and I just can't express enough how thankful I am to God for creating her (ahhh... I'm so gay!). We are re-arranging our office space, bringing in new additions and re-structuring our department. Today was pretty cool. While we were trying to figure out and finalize the opportunities for 2007, the Spirit was really moving in us to focus on certain ones... Can't really describe in detail (due to security reasons, because of the sensitivity of somes of these countries), but it'll be really cool to see what the Lord does... Man... how exciting!!!
