If any of you out there are wondering what the hardest aspect of coordinating this conference and outreaches, then the answer is clear. It is choosing what IKEA sofa to buy for the Info Center being set up in the local mall. No kidding. Today our fearless event director took his second trip to IKEA (he missed the roundabout the first time and never got there), and this time he brought along moral and shoppping support. The objective: select some couches, tables and rugs. Brown leather or red canvas? Neutral or color? White tables or wood? Sometimes you just have to trust the Lord! After hauling the various pieces from the massive shelves we discovered we would have to return to finalize the purchase! Hopefully, getting the 40 cell phones and arranging for the music equipment will be easier, not to mention streaming the conference into the overflow church. Digital or analog? Microwave or wireless? Your guess is as good as mine.  Thank God for our knowledgeable production and staging coordinator. She arrives tomorrow.

Divine Appointment?

We were having lunch at a local cafe and struck up a conversation with our very friendly and bright waitress who just happened to have lived in Oregon and was planning to return. Turns out she has a masters in film, and we need two camera persons and a director. She cheerfully admitted she could hold a camera but would not know what to do with it, as her masters was more about the synergy of film and advertising. She does, however, know a camera person who has worked in New York that could be available. We love you Lord.

Six days to the Greenock Town Hall and counting.
