Meeting the Alumni

The APC Women's Conference Alumni Tea was held at the Action Pastors College. The air was crisp and cool, but the sun warmed us up quickly. The "tea" was an orange, jungle bar, chocolate Easter egg, cupcake and a bag of chips. The women loved their snack along with the requisite cup of black tea.

After a silly song and fun ice-breaker game, we spent the morning talking about cultivating peace when leading in ministry. For Kim and Rhonda, this was an uplifting reunion as they saw the continued joy and growth in the woman that they ministered too over three summers. Some were struggling with recent losses and others were facing challenges in their congregations, yet all had broad smiles, sang loudly, and gave heartfelt hugs..... and left encouraged.

p.s. Rhonda is really in this picture.... somehow just didn't make it in the frame.

Rhonda shares a special bond with her Zambian friend, Patricia.
