It was such a privilege to participate in the 4-14 Ethiopia Consultation and All Africa Summit in Ethiopia. As we know, mission is understood as "finding out where the Holy Spirit is working and joining in". By going to different nations of the world and listening, learning and sharing with the local church we soon recognize the distinctive mission of each local body and find ways to cooperate in the unity of the Holy Spirit. I realize as I experience the workd of the Holy spirit in local churches around the world - Ghana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Cambodia, China - that we need both the local witness of our church and also the connection of the Church globally. When we travel to meet our brothers and sisters from other cultures we have the privilege of learning about what the Spirit is witnessing to them. We have much to learn and much to share when we take the opportunity to meet together.
