Newsletter No4 'Nigeria Trip'

Leaders Seminar Sat 24th

Today was probably one of the most important of the the whole trip.

With over 20 of us, it was more substantial, building on the foundation of the last Conference back in February. We had four main sessions - Titus 1, 2, 3 & a session on Evangelism. Maybe we should make the talks available online?? It was a really good day apart from the torrential rain especially what with a thin zinc roof. Our good friend Scott Simpson also attended which was great. May God Bless & keep you brother.
