Shirley and I recently attended the Evangelical Free Church of America Leadership Conference in Denver, and were greatly encouraged.

• The teaching was excellent, with a focus on the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. If we ever lose this focus on what Christ has done for us by his life, death, and resurrection, we will be in serious trouble.
• We were also blessed by the worship—a mix of contemporary songs and hymns—mostly centered on what Christ does for us rather than what we do for him.
• The fellowship was good. We saw people we know from a number of countries as well as from a number of churches.
• The time together as a couple was good as well. Shirley and I visited most of the way from Denver to Billings, Montana, sharing insights from seminars, the Word, and reading from a book I purchased.
