I arrived in Brussels March 2 and hit the ground running, heading straight to a meeting with my Spark leadership team to brainstorm ideas for our October Spark conference. A couple of days later, I traveled to Lugano, Switzerland where I led worship at Living Word Christian Center, pastored by my good friend Donato Anzalone. In the photo above, Annelies Anzalone (the pastor's wife) is about to pray for a South African family. David Anzalone is translating from Italian to English. The Anzalone family are dear friends who hosted me for several days in Lugano between ministry events.

It was wonderful to be back with Life Church Milan to lead worship during the first service in their new location. The church now meets in the Seventh Day Adventist building in downlown Milan - a perfect spot that is central to the city and near a metro. Looking forward to being back with this group this summer.

Seventy participants from 13 churches attended our first ConVerge Portugal west of Lisbon in the town of Cascais. What an awesome first-time event in this beautiful country!

The night before ConVerge Andalucia we offered an evening Focus Training Session for the All Nations Christian Fellowship team, our host church. Our teaching team from Cornerstone Church, Jackson, Mississippi worked one-on-one with the All Nations team and then enjoyed a potluck meal together.

Sixty worship leaders, musicians and vocalists attended our fourth ConVerge in Spain in the Andalucia region. What a joy it is to see our events in Spain continue to flourish. We're especially thankful for Angela Greenwood, who helps organize our events in Spain and also teaches for us.

On March 25, I led a Focus training session for the worship team at Christian Center, our home church in Brussels. While at Christian Center, I met with Pastor Joe Szabo who invited me to help with the 2017 Christmas program outreach - an event I directed during the 13 years I served as worship pastor. More on that later!
