Missionary Retreat

The missionary retreat is coming up next weekend. The retreat is for all the Global Partners missionaries in Africa, and this year it is held in Livingstone, Zambia. Right now the mission house is full of people coming in for next week's retreat. I think all together there is about 25 or 30 people coming. It will be a good time for me to meet everyone. I have not met most of the other missionaries in Africa. There will be services held each day with a special speaker; some down time to mingle and relax, and some business time. We are supposed to go to the game park in Livingstone and also a boat ride on the Zambezi River. The retreat is a yearly thing held for missionaries to relax and get away from the stresses of their work for a while, but also to be fed spiritually. It is much needed. I will let you know how it goes.
