Oh boy! Late last night (10.30pm) I received an email from our Manaíra church contingent coming to the EAB/ACEV Leadership Conference to say they could no longer come on Wednesday but would be coming on Thursday. That for Liz and I was the last straw as so many had already said the same thing. Thus I phoned other leaders this morning and we agreed it was best to delay the start altogether until Thursday and this has now been announced to one and all. I told everyone last year this was going to happen (kids getting older and can't miss school / some leaders have jobs outside of EAB/ACEV to help boost their income a bit etc.) but the folks insisted on the normal Wednesday start. Well... as it's worked out we have been forced to change to the Thursday start as the few who turned up early would have just been twiddling their thumbs!
In EAB/ACEV we have to adapt to changing circumstances so next year we are thinking of starting on Friday evening and running through till Sunday lunch. I have been discussing other issues linked to the Conference with leaders this morning.
I've received some nice feedback from the radio interview yesterday so that's good. Liz is charging round with the church building project and the Conference preparations this morning. She darts from place to place like a humming bird!
