Lithuania Trip

Well, my wish to travel internationally finally came true October 7-14, 2008. I was invited by the Future Leadership Foundation to lead a coaching seminar for Lithuanian Baptist pastors. I traveled with two other team members that lead seminars for children and youth workers. The "Find Us Faithful" seminars were held at Christ Mission Baptist Church in Kaunas, Lithuania. We had a wonderful trip and met many new friends. Ministry in Lithuania is unique and very challenging, especially for Baptists in a Roman Catholic dominated area. Baptist churches are very young, most were established after Lithuania declared their independence from Soviet Russia in 1990. It was an honor to coach these pastors who are still young in the faith, many of them have only been believers for a few years. God is doing some powerful work in Lithuania and I am blessed to have been able to journey with these pastors for a few days.
