Yesterday I shared that I spent some time with a pastor in another country. It was a refreshing six hours.
It was refreshing because his experiences as a missionary pastor in a difficult situation reinforced my understanding of what is necessary both in that country and in mine.
His observations and the lessons he has learned in the years he has invested in the people here and his ministry experience prior to coming here, align exactly with mine.
He has struggled with the same issues. He has fought the same fights. He has felt the same frustrations.
Because of that it seemed that we had known one another for many years. It has to do with being on the same battlefield, just different areas.
It was a rich six hours.
