<p>This is a translation of a discussion I had with Sammy yesterday. We have a &#8220;discipleship&#8221; meeting once a week, when we talk about life. I was telling Sammy about our dream of having a set-up where we can have course for a week-end, or a week, or a month, where people can come and see God, and have fun, and move forward in their faith.</p>
<p>Sammy&#8217;s response of how he feels peace here is an answer to our vision, patterned after the Celtic Way of Evangelism. We can feel it too. You come through our gate and onto our property, if just feels different.</p>
<p>Thank you, Jesus.</p>
