Finding things in common
One of the dreams I developed after we arrived in Africa was to find ways to work together with communications professionals from other organizations. When the idea first came to mind, I didn’t know where to begin.
I prayed. I asked God to help me find where these people were.
God answered.
In circumstances I wouldn’t have expected, I started meeting other people who were serving Christian organizations in Africa in a similar way to me. A better way to say this is that God made some appointments for me…I just didn’t know about them until I showed up!
Near the end of last year, I started checking to see if it would be possible for some of us to meet together–to build relationship, to share knowledge and resources, and to look at ways to coordinate and work together. At the beginning of May the first meeting happened. It included people from four organizations who all led teams that gather and distribute publicity information about what their organizations do in Africa. We hope to meet again and continue to expand the group of participants.
What did we find? While each of our organizations is different, we all desire to tell stories about how God is at work in Africa. By working together we can maximize our available resources, potentially increase the quantity of stories told, and be able to tell more stories about how God uses the collaborative work of many different organizations to accomplish his work.
I’m looking forward to what God will do next. I get excited thinking about it.
Take a look at what these teams are doing:
Please pray for God to give us wisdom as we move towards some joint work and explore more possibilities.
