Mission workers are facing new challenges as they find ways to work together as an international community to start healthy churches.

The number of participants involved in the mission discussions increased exponentially with the introduction of social media and Google Translate. No longer are the missionaries or mission leaders the only information providers and question-answerers.

Embracing the challenges and finding ways toward collaboration, shared leadership, and consensus is helpful. And fun.

Deanna and I are enroute to an International Vineyard Missions Conference in Nepal. National coordinators from several nations will be there. Deanna and I are representing Brazil. David Ruis will be there from Canada.

I love this 14-lane highway by our hotel in Sao Paulo. We are waiting for our flight to Istanbul tomorrow and then Kathmandu.
