Greetings, my
friends.
It has been a few
weeks since we sent out a Reflection, and I apologize for that. My
recent itinerary has made it very difficult to work on a Reflection
to send. It
is not that we don't have articles in process, but finding time to edit and
prepare them for publication can be a real challenge sometimes. So, for
a change of pace, I thought I would send out something more informal and
informative rather than a devotional. I don't intend for this to sound
like a sales pitch, but I don't know how to communicate my excitement
about what is happening with LCMI in any other way.
There is a lot
happening right now with LCMI, and we are working hard to put together our
itinerary for the rest of 2007. We are still unable to travel
internationally, but the next few months hold a lot for us domestically.
I am speaking
at a youth and young adult seminar on May 4 & 5 in the Milwaukee area.
This seminar is open to youth or young adults who might be interested in
attending. You can contact
us for more information, or watch the Itinerary
page on our website for the final details...
After that event
we will be heading to Calumet, Michigan to review the projects for this year's
Youth on a Mission team. To learn more about Youth on a
Mission, you can view photos of our past projects on our photo
page. This year's project is slated for June 19-27. The
project is open to high school age teens. Applications for
this year's team will be available soon. Watch our website for more
information, or contact the LCMI office for more details.
For those who
have completed both LCMI's Living:
His Perspective, and Living:His
Perspective In-Depth seminars, we are offering two training
opportunities this year. The first -- Training in
Personalities and Personal Histories -- is being held July 19-23 in
the Cass City, Michigan area. The second -- Diagram Training --
is being held August 17-20 in the Cass City area. To learn more about
our Discipleship
Training Path contact our office or view our website.
The event we are
most excited about is our first ever LCMI Men's retreat. We are holding
this event at Bayshore Camp in
Sebewaing, Michigan on September 21-23. We are planning to cover many
things relating specifically to men. Topics will include how men
communicate, why and how men self-protect, how men are being emasculated
in today's world, and we also plan to take a hard look at male spirituality
and why the church as we know it is failing men today. Be sure to not
miss out on this exciting event. For a registration form and more
information contact the LCMI
office.
We are excited
to inform you about the new page we have added to our website called "Listen".
We are adding some of our old audio resources for you to listen to free of
charge. We will be adding more messages over time, so be sure to check
back often.
Becky has also
added her recent prayer letter to our Discussion forum. On the main menu
we have changed the name of the LCMI
Forum to "Interact". Please be sure to stop by and check
it out, and if you are not registered, please consider doing so! We
would love to have you join in our online discussion community. We have
also added our most recent by the Way newsletter on our website.
You can read it by clicking here.
To read this you will need the Adobe PDF reader that can be downloaded free
from Adobe's website. Click here
to download the reader.
Well, I guess
that us enough updates for this time.
Shalom, friends.
Mike
