In the end analysis, the tour experiment was a success.
We learned to love God and each other more. We loved our neighbors and
connected with our brothers and sisters in significant ways.
We’re not sure what the future holds yet. We know there are a lot of
people out there in America who are languishing in a prosperous yet
purposeless life. That is not okay with me. Too many dreams are dying
in our hearts. Too much of God’s Kingdom dream is going without being
realized. Something needs to be done.
Right now, I am seeking and praying about the next steps for the tour. Looking forward to what the future holds.
