As I turn the page on another quarter of ministry with International Ministries, I am reminded of a simple everyday experience: changing the calendar. The page we leave behind tells a story of Gods faithfulness. The page before us invites us to step forward in faith and anticipation.

This past quarter has been filled with opportunities to invest in theological education, leadership development, and spiritual formation across diverse contexts. When I began serving as a Global Theological Educator on January 2025, I set a long-term goal of helping to mentor and train 100 emerging theological leaders in collaboration with ministry partners around the world.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the FIFA World Cup. For a few weeks, it seemed as though the world had come to North America. The beautiful game was played across Mexico, Canada, and the United States, bringing together people from every corner of the globe. Through television and social media, millions shared in the excitement, reminding us how interconnected our world has become.
