Things are going very well at the GO Conference and we are thoroughly enjoying meeting and connecting with new and old OMers and networking for future outreach opportunities around the world. It is exciting to be with 450 other OMers, 250 of them brand new and just heading off to new fields.
As usual, we are in a different category then most and never have an easy answer for the common questions floating around a conference like this. Where do you come from? Where are you going? Common answers to the latter are: Bosnia, the Ships, Chili, Nepal, etc. We, on the other hand, have a bit longer answer that goes something like this: "We are from and based in the states, but go...everywhere. We have actually been with OM for a year now. We work under OM Arts and have a performance based outreach where we travel the world using the unicycle as a tool to share Christ." And then we have to explain how that works.
We had a spontaneous blessing yesterday. Some of the leaders we just met asked us to be one of the prayer stations during the night of prayer. Everyone went from station to station to learn about a ministry field and pray for them. Dustin shared a bit of unicycling and about our ministry and then people prayed for us. We did this 4 times as groups came and went. It was special to receive prayer and share about OM Arts, offer ourselves as resources to other fields and inspire young missionaires to explore creative ways God can use them.
