Austin Okomohwo and I were both on Skype today, and just ended up chatting awhile. Austin has a really fun last name to say. Even better to hear him say it in his deep baritone voice. He is one of CCC's best leaders on any continent, and has become a dear friend over the past 5 years or so. We happened to be "talking" when CNN was running the Bono interview from the G8 summit, and the need for countries to follow up on their commitments. (Turns out, the US has done more than their original commitment from 2 years ago. Yeah.) So I was relaying the content of the CNN interview to Austin, who was in Ghana, and we were talking about it as it unfolded. It was another cool taste of the instant global community we live in. I can't wait to see hundreds of African students at CM07. Their zeal will light up the place.
Earlier I had been on a Skype Conference Call (no, I am not getting endorsement money from Skype, but I would be glad to if they offered.) with several speakers for CM2007. Besides Orlando, we were in Houston, Los Angeles, Birmingham, England, Singapore, and Seoul, Korea. It is very cool to see how this is coming together, the messages and the flow of the conference. I'm starting to move from "this is a whole lot of work" to "what if God were to move so powerfully that 15,000 students and staff went back to their countries, ignited by the Holy Spirit to change the world with the love of Jesus?" Hmmm. We just might be a little dangerous, in a good way.
