Amy sharing at Encounter
What a cool opportunity to spend 3 days with like-minded people. We were invited to attend Encounter World Outreach and share about how we landed in Tyumen and what it is that we do there. Well, we had an experience that was not what we expected!
We were able to connect with some incredible folks, we had the opportunity to serve as connectors for others and we learned a TON! Here's some highlights!
We met Jaroslaw Lukasik, who is working with Bruce Anderson and the International Theological Education Network. They train pastors! We're hoping that we can make a good connection with them to help find a pastor for Holy Trinity Church in Tyumen!
We met Kristina, who has been learning Russian for the past 18 months in St. Petersburg, Russia with hopes to serve in Russia.
We got to hear Steve Moore speak from MissioNexus. He had awesome stuff to say. I think it was especially interesting to hear him talk about how the internet and access to knowledge has changed power. He referenced the book The End of Power by Moises Naim.
I was blown away when he shared with us about how accessible information is now. In fact, children don't go to their parents as the main source of information anymore. The can first go to the internet and find whatever they need. The problem is that they get the CONTENT, but not the CONTEXT for the information. Really thought provoking.
