Saturday night update

Well, we just finished the conference. Whew! I'm exhausted. But it really went great! I was nervous last night even though I didn't have to teach then. Since I did not have another trainer, Equip sent Pastor Jorge Marquez as the substitute trainer. Pastor Jorge is originally from the Mendoza area, but now has a large church in Uruguay. He is also a fantastic speaker, so the people really connected well with him. I told Jorge that he really set the bar high for me to follow on today. I taught 3 sessions today. At least some of the sessions were a bit detailed, but all were well received. We had a fantastic end to the conference, with a strong outpouring of expression from the participants not only toward the Equip training but also to seeing their ministry advance. I had many people afterwards come up and express their appreciation and say that this training was very practical and that it will help advance their ministries. It was very encouraging to hear such expressions of appreciation. I'll post some updated pictures from the conference this evening.

Tomorrow I will check out of the hotel, so I'll lose Internet access. My next post will probably be from home. In the morning I'm speaking at Pastor Esteban's church. Then around 3:00 I'll head to the airport for my flight home (yeah!! Now, I'm ready to go). I'm looking forward to seeing Patty and Rachel and Aaron now!!
