The Season of Meetings

This time of year is usually one of travelling for Mike, and this year is no exception. The OM Latin America Leaders Meeting was in September and the International IT Conference (IITC) is taking place right now.

The Latin America meeting takes place in a different country each year; this year it was Brazil's turn, with leaders arriving from all over the continent (Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama and Paraguay) with some special guests joining us from Asia and USA. There was also a special barbecue night when OM Brazil team members and families joined the group in order to get to know our colleagues from the other countries. It was an excellent week of meetings, with an emphasis on taking our rest and energy from God.

The IITC is taking place this week (until 17th October) in Brussels, Belgium. This meeting brings together the IT people responsible for the various geographical areas, and those heading up international IT at OM. It's a chance for discussions and decisions about the latest technologies available.

It is great to take part in these meetings and we pray for all those involved as they go back to their countries to carry on their work and ministries.
