REACT Board Retreat

We held a retreat with the Board of Directors for REACT Services this week. A very successful time of reclarifying our purpose and progras.

We confirmed that:

REACT Services is a Christian ministry that guides and equips churches and organizations to harness the power of partnership for more effective Kingdom impact among people least reached by the gospel. http://www.reactservices.com/

Christians and Climate Change

One of the key meetings I had this week in Washington, DC was with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi. Our small group of Christian leaders talked with her about climate change and some of the legislation being proposed. It was fun to be able to communicate that some Christians really are interested in the environment. However, we weren't necessarily too high on some of the ways in which the government is talking about being involved!

In DC

Participated in two conferences in Washington, DC this week. One on climate change and the other a global leaders forum. The latter was sponsored by the National Association of Evangelicals -- on whose Board of Directors I serve. The main speaker was Ban Ki-Moon the General Secretary of the United Nations.

Interesting story in the Washington Post the next day, asking the question about Guess Who Came to Dinner? They wondered if it was the anti-Christ! You can check out the article at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/11/AR2007101102537.html
