this weekend is the annual CEP conference in the beautiful Czech mountains, where representatives of all the Partners, plus several friends and supporters from UK and other countries will gather to share, learn, pray and be encouraged, so they can return to their sometimes isolated places of ministry refreshed and with renewed vision. The main speakers this year will be Al, Marek, Ralph and Milan, who between them have well over 100 years experience working in the region! They will be reflecting on the development of Integrated ministry since the fall of communism 25 years ago. Individuals there are bound to go away encouraged by the many private and one-to-one times of sharing and praying together that will occur, and we can join them in praying that the Lord will refresh them and renew them in his service for the year ahead.
