Every few months or so we host a staff get together/meeting where we are able to regroup and grow closer together as a family. We spend time in worship, in God's word and in fellowship besides laughing and meeting about important ministry practices. Our worship time has been dynamic and passionate as we know our family loves our King well. People are concerned if they miss our worship time.
Our last meeting was an interesting one as we told our staff that they could invite potential pelicans to join us for a day of introduction and orientation and fun. We were shocked that so many people showed up. We had 43 people there who were either already part of our family or who wanted to be. As we all introduced ourselves, it was a blessing to hear why people wanted to be involved with PPM. The answers were almost all regarding how PPM is a family that takes care of each other and how with PPM they are or heard about how they are treated as leaders, as equals. As we read applications, the answers continue to reflect the idea that PPM is a family that develops people into leaders.
I think of this now as we have new pelicans serving for the first time this week with a team and as we plan to continue to train and develop our staff and our family to be good leaders and representatives of Christ here in Haiti. It's the time of year when we evaluate how we can better prepare our staff for every situation they may encounter.
Please be praying for us. We want to be good examples to our Pelican family and lead them well. We want to provide them with the resources they need to lead our teams well in the coming year. Above all, pray that God is glorified through each of us and our lives would point people to Him.
I love our Haitian Pelican Family dearly and pray that they continue to grow and lead others well.
