I’ll be headed for Sewanee this weekend to meet with Frank and Megan (I haven’t heard if Carolyn will be there or not) in preparation for the Costa Rica trip.

I’m preparing for the preparation by reviewing some of the content of LEAMIS’s pastoral leadership seminar. The plan last year in Bolivia was for Debra Snellen and I to co-lead the seminar. Co-lead it we did, but because of some misunderstandings, poor scheduling and a failure to promote the seminar to its intended audience, we really did only a small fraction of it, for a handful of people, none of whom fell into the category of the rural pastors for whom the seminar is designed.

Now, this year, I’m supposed to lead the whole thing, by myself, and I’m a little intimidated by that. It’s not my curriculum. Will I be able to answer questions or deal with unexpected directions to the discussion? I’m going to have to count on a lot of divine inspiration.
