We laughed and cried. We prayed and sang. We celebrated what God is doing in the Marketplace across the world and marveled at the idea that He would include us in this work. We re-examined WHY we do this ministry. We re-examined for WHOM we do this ministry. And we brainstormed and shared best practices for HOW to do this ministry.
Words can't express how thankful to God I am for the richness of this summit. Thirty-seven delegates from twelve countries arrived and departed with almost no problems. That, by itself, is a miracle! We had prayed for a spirit of wisdom and revelation for our time together, and God answered that prayer.
Words can't express how thankful I am to donors who supported this gathering. I admit that I struggled with the cost of the summit prior to the event. But I'm convinced that it was worth every dollar spent.
And I'm thankful for every DML team member who showed up. It is clear to see that DML is not just a program that these teams are doing but it is a lifestyle that they are owning and adopting within their own family, community, church and beyond. We heard story after story of these leaders making disciples who make disciples, and doing work as an act of worship. God has blessed DML with leaders who love God and love His Church.
God is good, all the time. And all the time, God is good, and that is His nature.
